Each precinct is printed on one of these cards. 3%, or 66 precincts will be selected to conduct a hand count of all ballots counted on Election Day, to make sure our tabulators counted all of those ballots accurately.
The selected precincts will be randomly selected from this drum and posted to this board.
The cards are being removed from their display boards and are being placed into the drum for the drawing, which will happen in just a few moments.
Many of our clerks are watching from their offices, waiting to find out which cities and towns are picked.

Our lucky 66 precincts!
Fun fact: our law requires the random drawing to include ALL precincts, even those which already hand-counted their ballots on Election Night.
The Town of Monroe, which has 72 voters and hand-counted paper ballots, is one of our selected towns.
