Because we had more ballots returned than any other county, we have more ballots to look through to find our list, but it doesn’t necessarily mean we need to audit more ballots. The number of ballots we audit is based on how close the race was we’re auditing. Today we’re auditing 381 ballots.

Our first job is to track down each ballot randomly selected for today’s audit. Every ballot gets a unique number when it’s scanned, so we can find that exact paper ballot again quickly and accurately.

Giant spiders aren’t real (we don’t think), but they’re definitely not allowed to vote. If you can't find your ballot because the spiders hid it, visit any vote center to get a new one. And don’t worry, we’ll void your original one.

Accessibility matters. We’re testing our ADA-accessible ballot-marking devices, too.
These allow voters with disabilities to vote privately and independently, producing the same paper ballot that gets scanned and counted like all others.

Let’s talk overvotes and undervotes:
✅ Overvote = picking too many candidates in one race (those votes don’t count).
✅ Undervote = leaving a race blank or voting for fewer than allowed.
Our LAT makes sure the system flags both correctly.

In addition to all the test ballots marked by our party reps, we’re testing a full set of ballots representing all the different vote options to make sure every bubble will be read accurately. We’ll be testing around 3,300 ballots today.

Here’s how we prove the system works ⬇️
1️⃣ Bipartisan teams mark & count test ballots by hand
2️⃣ Tabulator equipment counts them + a full deck of other test ballots
3️⃣ Results are compared and they must match exactly
It’s called the Logic & Accuracy Test, and it’s democracy’s quality check.
