The staff conducted a manual audit of the early voting, election day, vote-by-mail and provisional ballots for the primary precinct 802.
The precinct was randomly chosen by Duval County Judge Michael Bateh, a member of the Canvassing Board.
“What’s really important about doing this is one, for people who don’t trust machines, to show and verify that they are accurate,” said Holland. “Also to give confidence after the election, any election, that the machines are accurately reporting and everything was right on.”
