HOW WILL THE RECOUNT WORK?
Every single vote cast for the U.S. Senate candidates will be recounted by hand. The official recount is being conducted in approximately 110 locations throughout the state, generally in every county courthouse and in the city halls of major cities. In some locations more than one recount “station” will be used depending on the size of the jurisdiction. The people doing the recounting are county election officials and election judges. Teams of recounters will examine each ballot and record the vote. As many as four, perhaps even more, observers have been present as each ballot is recounted — the election judge doing the recounting, representatives from each candidate’s campaign, and any other interested parties. The recounts and canvassing board meetings are all open to the public.
