Ms. Toler advised the Board that the hand -eye audit revealed the exact same votes
as the tapes with the exception that one ballot contained a check mark that was originally
counted as an undervote.
Ms. Toler presented the Board with the results of the provisional ballots. A list of
the voters is attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. Mr. Titchener
moved to reject ballots where the individuals were not registered. Mr. Massey seconded.
Approved without dissent.
Ms. Toler advised that there were several ballots that could only be partially cast
as the voters insisted on voting in a town election for which they were not eligible. Ms.
Toler also advised that the remaining ballots were valid. Mr. Massey moved to approve
those ballots. Mr. Titchener seconded. Approved without dissent.
