Hand count audit upheld election-night totals in two contested local races, packet says
Summary
The canvass packet reports a random post-election audit hand-counted ballots in two contested local races (Hesston mayor and USD 369 Board) and found results consistent with election-night totals.
County staff report that the post-election audit required by statute was completed and that two contested local races were hand-counted as part of that audit. The packet states: "On Thursday, November 6 the County Election Officer randomly selected two contested local races to audit... The ballots for the selected races/precincts were hand counted by a 4 member audit board on Friday, November 7; the results were consistent with the election night results." (Canvass packet.)
The packet identifies the audited contests and precincts: Hesston City Mayor (Hesston City 1W-1P precinct) and USD 369 Board (Burrton City precinct). The packet explains the random selection process and that the hand-count board consisted of four members; staff report that the hand counts were consistent with the election-night machine totals, supporting the reported outcomes in those contests. The audit documentation appears in the canvass materials submitted for the Nov. 12 meeting.
