Unit 4 Discovery Recount
With the caveats below applying today, the redundant recount of 4395 ballots in the Unit 4 school district race showed no change in results. We did find two blank and unitialed ballots mixed in with the election day ballots that we presume were stuck to the back of a properly cast ballot. It caused the hand count of ballots cast to be off by one in Champaign 7 and in City of Champaign 15 but had no impact of course on the number of votes for each candidate. We’ll put an extra reminder in for judges in future training about making sure that doesn’t happen.
