The Board voted to Certify the Election
Main points of discussion involved paper ballots and ballot photos they were concerned of technical issues of the paper ballot pictures crashing
There had been a pre-certification meeting or report so there were questions with regards to discrepancies from that to today which were a result of additional vote counts, There was some arcane discussion of the PAD vs Manual check in reporting but it was explained by the election supervisor to the boards satisfaction. There was also procedural questions regarding the nature of a manual audit scheduled for this Friday. One race is also eligible for a recount should either candidate request in the next 2BD following certification. There were some procedural questions about that.
There was a lengthy discussion about the manual audit/hand count of the presidential race which would begin this coming Friday and must be completed by Tuesday at 5pm and is open to the public. There was mention of a pilot program from the Secretary of states office that in addition to the hand count would employee equipment from a 3rd party vendor (advanced voting systems?) designed to use OCR to review the printed selections on the individual printed ballots and compare them to the selections readable from the QR code. A Board member questioned how this could work since during a ballot review she claimed reviewing multiple ballots with a QR code and the printed selections were blank. The election supervisor supposed this could be from voters submitting a blank protest ballot, but that this was a pilot program ad that’s the sort of thing it might reveal.
