CO Daily: Election audit sufficient?


Election audit sufficient?

By RICHARD VALENTY Colorado Daily Staff Writer

Monday, November 14, 2005 7:06 PM MST

Boulder County ran a post-election audit procedure Monday, satisfying Secretary of State election rules but leaving local voting activists asking for more.

County staff pulled 100 ballots at random from a batch of 250 ballots that were processed on one of the County's eight scanners during the tabulation process.

Shnelvar said such an audit would not be statistically significant enough to provide citizens with confidence of election accuracy.

Roughly 86,000 County ballots were cast in 2005, although the counting was distributed among the eight scanners.
