Boise, Idaho - Staff from the office of Idaho Secretary of State Lawerence Denney continued with day three of their 2022 Idaho Primary Post-Election Audit today, with teams reviewing Kootenai, Bannock, and Jerome Counties. Early preliminary reports through lunch were consistent with the findings in the previous two days, and at this point it is anticipated that audit teams will complete their in-county work by close of business today in their respective locations.
Yesterday's outcomes were as follows:
Day 2 - 4,770 ballots - 4 variations - 3 resolved, 1 unresolved but attributable
- Thus far - 13,088 - 14 variations - 1 unattributed, 1 addl unresolved
Jerome County
Bonneville County
(*ballot count numbers below are based on number of gubernatorial votes cast in the republican primary. Actual ballots reviewed were higher due to overvotes and undervotes)
A secondary report detailing further findings, lessons learned, and recommendations of best practices will be drafted following Day 3, with an additional final report to be issued following staff and county review of the preliminary and secondary findings.
Details of Day 3 will be released as soon as they are fully compiled.
