Thank you, I appreciate it

One quick revision here, I said Niko and his team would get involved in adjudicating an objection but I believe that would actually be the Election Commissioners (the body that met today)

Here is what the timeline looks like

Because of this recount the 2025 election results will remain unofficial until the conclusion of the recount

Media and members of the public will be allowed to observe, but will not be allowed inside the designated recount area

No, just needed. No previous issues with Ward 4. Just waiting.

A candidate can have up to 60 observers, 2 per counting station

Yes, certified signatures I assume. But yes, this is correct.

There is legal precedent on how to count specific marks on ballots and this recount will follow those ruling

A counted ballot can be objected to by a candidate and their observers and then it sounds like Niko and his team would get involved in adjudicating that objection.

Niko made it seem as though he expects both candidates to have legal representation there as well

I’m learning this hand recount process is extremely deliberate, involved, and labor intensive

North High is the proposed site of the recount because of the amount of people involved, including observers

All 12 names would be recounted because a recount is done by contest. The contest in question here would be the City Council At-Large.

Hand recount would be a 4 day process in total

Here. Meeting about to start.

Apparently this is the breakdown of some of the costs
