Elections staff praised after long recount; post‑election audit cited as evidence of machine accuracy
Summary
County elections staff described long hours and missed events during the recount; staff cited a 1% post‑election audit that has "never missed" as evidence supporting confidence in tabulators.
Elections staff told the board the recount required long hours and staff sacrifices, including missed vacations and a national conference. The chair and commissioners thanked staff for their work and public service during the process.
Staff also pointed to the county's post‑election audit—an annual 1% precinct sample—which they said "we've never missed on" as evidence machines perform accurately when tested. Elections staff added, "I have 100% confidence in our machines," and said the recount nonetheless served the public interest by documenting voter‑intent adjustments.
