Archer explained that the county stops updating the requested-ballots list, known as “EV32,” after the last day people can request a mail ballot, October 23. So ballots cast in person after October 23, Archer said, were included on the submitted-ballots list, known as “EV33,” but did not have a corresponding item on the “EV32” requested-ballots list.
Archer analyzed the files and found that there were 74,241 ballots on the submitted-ballots list without a corresponding entry on the requested-ballots list — nearly identical to the figure Logan cited, “74,243.” But Archer found that more than 99.9% of the ballots in question were recorded in the submitted-ballots list on October 26 or later.
Further, if the ballots were inserted into the system inappropriately, that “99.9% after Oct 26” figure could still well apply.
Any ballot tracking system should definitively show where ballots went, and where they came from, and not rely upon inference.
I wholly agree. That is really at the core of the problem, is it not?
