Election Tidbits (copy)
First, a heartfelt thank you to my wonderful 40+ election workers and counters who worked the election last week. I appreciate your dedication in making sure our elections are run professionally and accurately and with a sense of humor too.And we’re not done yet! This week is audit week — did you know every county in Montana does an audit after a federal election to check the accuracy of our counting machines? Tomorrow at 9 am, the State legislators will roll dice on camera for each of the 56 Montana counties, randomly choosing 2 precincts and several races for them to audit.The Sweet Grass County audit will be held this Thursday, Nov. 12 at 9 am in the commissioners’ meeting room and is open to the public. Election judges (who did not work on election night) will hand count the ballots for the chosen races in the chosen precincts to compare to the machine count on election night.
