I guess we will see. I don’t like the loose nature of our electoral process where votes are so often found when needed. Each time this happens though it turns up the heat to fix the process, clean the voter rolls etc.
Provisional votes aren’t found, they have been there all along and everyone knew where they were and how many at each precinct. If you show up at the polls to vote and your name is not on the voter rolls for that precinct, they give you a ballot, but it is sealed in an envelope, it is not counted on election day. If a contest is close, they determine if the voter is duly registered and if so, they open the provisional ballots and count it. This usually happens when someone has moved and failed to inform the Court House, so there name was on their old precinct roll.
