Election office requests extra canvass time after 700+ provisional ballots from wrong polling sites
Summary
The election commissioner reported more than 700 provisional ballots from voters who appeared at wrong polling locations; manual tallies will be required and commissioners/proxies were asked to be available Wednesday–Friday for the final canvas.
Laura (speaker 13), the election official attending online, told commissioners that more than 700 provisional ballots will require manual tabulation because voters showed up at the wrong polling sites. She asked commissioners and their proxies to be available for an extended canvass window Wednesday through Friday, with Wednesday afternoon likely.
"Based on the number of provisional ballots from people showing up at the wrong polling sites, we have over 700 manual tallies that have to be, tabulated," Laura said. She noted she was coordinating with staff (Linda Baker) and would confirm timing, and a commissioner asked whether the manual tallies were likely to change any results; Laura said the race was probably the most lopsided she had seen and did not expect flips.
The board did not take action in the provided segments but acknowledged the need to schedule canvass participants and allow extra time for certification.
