<br /> <br />Canvass of the Election <br /> <br />The meeting was resumed at 9:15 a.m. on Wednesday, November 8, 2017 to begin the <br />canvass of results. During the canvass of each precinct the statement of results form <br />was examined to verify that the number of voters checked in and the number of ballots <br />scanned matched the totals on the poll book and scanner tally tapes and that the <br />number checked in was consistent with the number of ballots scanned. In two precincts <br />the number of ballots scanned exceeded the number of voters checked in by one, <br />possibly due to a failure to check in one outside-the-polls voter at each of these <br />precincts. At another precinct there was a discrepancy of four ballots; the fact that a <br />new physical set up, with the ballot officers located at the same table with the poll <br />books, was tested at this precinct may have been a contributing factor. At this same <br />precinct, one voter was looked up and found to be at a different precinct, but was issued <br />a ballot and allowed to vote it. This policy will be reviewed prior to the next election and, <br />if retained, will be accompanied by additional training to address the importance of <br />making sure that each voter is properly checked in on the pollbook before the ballot is <br />issued. <br /> <br />Provisional Ballot Canvass <br /> <br />At 11:00 a.m. the canvass was paused to open the provisional ballot canvass to allow <br />provisional voters to address the Board concerning the status of their ballots. No <br />provisional voters were present so the canvass was resumed. <br /> <br />Canvass Results <br /> <br />The canvass of the remaining five precincts, including Central Absentee, found no <br />unexplained discrepancies. The canvass was completed at 3:00 p.m. with no errors or <br />irregularities found that would change the unofficial election results reported on election <br />night. However, the canvass did reveal a few minor errors in the election results <br />reported in VERIS on Tuesday evening. These errors were a result of entering the data <br />into VERIS from the phoned-in hand-written tabulations rather than from printouts of <br />election results produced by the computer on which the data from the scanners had <br />been downloaded. The phoned-in totals were available a bit earlier in the evening but <br />the printouts from the computer were generated minutes after each precinct chief <br />arrived at the office. All of these printouts were produced between 9:00 and 10:00 p.m. <br />and each could have been entered into VERIS as soon as it was printed. The meeting <br />was suspended at 3:00 p.m. at the conclusion of the canvass. <br /> <br />Provisional Ballot Canvass <br /> <br />The meeting was resumed at 9:08 a.m. on Monday, November 13. At 9:10 a.m. the <br />Chair moved that the meeting be closed for the purpose of considering whether each
