Hand-count audit matched reported totals, clerk says
Summary
Elections staff said the Secretary of State selected races for an audit and the county's bipartisan hand count produced matching totals; the clerk told commissioners the county 'passed our audit.'
County elections staff told commissioners that the Secretary of State selected which races to include in the post-election audit and that the county chose a precinct for a hand count.
The clerk said a bipartisan six-person team hand-counted ballots and that "they finally all came up with the same numbers and we passed our audit." Commissioners asked procedural questions about how precincts and races were selected for the audit, and staff explained the state office chooses races and the county selects a precinct for the count.
The audit included the U.S. House District 2 and State Senate District 13 races and the clerk said the county also included a contested county-level sheriff's race at the state's request. Election staff reported the hand count reconciled with the reported totals and the clerk recommended formal acceptance of the canvass results to conclude the process.
