Title: Ballot Recount Process For 250,000
Post by: Henry on November 30, 2006, 07:38:27 AM
The very close count, 137 I believe, has prompted Tom Salmon to ask for a recount in his race for auditor against Randy Brock:

The process includes making stacks of 50 ballots with four people doing the counting.

"There is pair of counters and a pair observers. The counters are from opposite parties, the observers are from opposite parties and after that batch is counted and the results are written down, the observers sit down, counters stand up and the observers count the same pack," said Markowitz.

And everyone must agree on the outcome before moving on to the next pile of 50 ballots.
