Mrs. Jones submitted to the Board the precinct audits. Voter history and ballots cast numbers
were off by 4, two Provisionals that were not approved went into the M100 at Anderson Creek
and Coats/Grove. Johnsonville had a machine jam and, according to the numbers, must have re-
ran two ballots through the m100 that were already counted. No major issues affected any
results from any precinct. The mandatory random hand -eye count was performed on Thursday

protests or issues were pending that could delay Canvass.

Canvass. Mr. Blackburn seconded. Approved without dissent.

the curbside buffer zone, Provisionals and precinct workers.

meeting was adjourned at 12:04 pm.
