What is the typical source of larger variations in ballots tabulated?

0

The most dramatic source of variation between the original count and the recount usually involves ballots that were not included in the original count due to human error, or which may have been inadvertently tabulated more than once. In this recount, we have identified one county that has located a tray of 224 votes in a security room that were not counted in the original count, and another county where 34 votes processed through the canvassing board were not processed in the original count. While this may result in more ballots being processed in the recount, the net gain or loss to a particular candidate is usually negligible since the votes will be tallied for both candidates. The opposite result may occur if ballots are inadvertently tabulated more than once in the original count. That appears to have occurred in one county.
