Canvass Updates
September 21, 2021
Today we:
- Added 10,158 ballots to the vote totals. There are about 2,450 that have gone through signature verification that still need to be processed and added to the totals. Additional ballots will also be added as the signatures are being cured. Voters have until October 6 to cure their signatures.
- Continued to remake ballots that cannot be tabulated due to rips, tears, water damage or other various reasons.
- Continued to work on Step 1 of the Same Day Registration process.
- Completed Phase 1 of the 1% Manual Tally. We will draw more batches to tally once we have completed processing all vote by mail ballots, Same Day Registration ballots and Provisional ballots. That drawing will occur on October 6 and the manual tally will begin immediately after the drawing. We will stream the random drawing live. We will post the link on October 6.
We will make one more vote by mail total update tomorrow and then we will not add to the vote total until September 29 (Same Day Registration, Provisional, cured vote by mail ballots), another on October 6 (Same Day Registration, Provisional, cured vote by mail ballots), with the certified totals on October 8.
