Ballot Count Audit made easy
Everything you need to know about the Georgia presidential recount.... What will this recount look like?
A pair of election auditors will review each ballot and determine who received the vote. If they can’t come to a consensus, or if the choice is illegible, a superintendent who supervises the count will make a call. There are strict requirements on what items can be on the auditing table (no food or drinks allowed), what to do when an auditor needs to take a break, how to guard unattended ballots and more.
This will be a hand-review of paper ballots that were printed from electronic voting machines, as well as absentee ballots that arrived by mail.
The recount will be open to the public and streamed live in counties that have the ability to do so.
If you really want to nerd out, check out more information here and watch this video demonstration:
