The second phase of the Logic & Accuracy process is underway, as the Elections Office marks “test ballots” to verify that the BallotNow tabulation machines accurately count the votes marked.
Like the eSlate testing phase, predetermined combinations of votes have been designated for testing to verify that the machines tabulate accurately. As we explained previously, these tests are conducted to make sure that the end results of the tabulation match what was actually voted. The Elections staff will mark “test” ballots with predetermined votes so that every candidate and contest is voted for at least once in varying vote combinations on the test ballots during this process. We even throw in some write-in votes, under-votes, and over-votes to truly reflect what may actually happen when voters make their choices on Election Day.
L&A for the November Presidential General has been proceeding according to schedule, and is anticipated to last through Sept. 26.
