JEFFERSON COUNTY

Bill,

Jefferson County finished its recount today. Two pictures of their hand-entered summary spreadsheets are attached. Here is a WEC link that their minute-taker read aloud when I challenged them to explain how “Scatterings” might be better reconciled with “Blanks” (“Unders”) and “Overs”: elections.wi.gov/node/3283 . I am doing my own spreadsheet from their pictured results which I can share later. I reported an incident to Madison recount office about one community (Town of Oakland) that during the recount updated the two official poll books from a separate list of 41 voters that was not yet in those poll books, and was observed by another one of our volunteers.

Find attached three sheets for Jefferson County Wisconsin

Town of Waterloo, Town of Concord and Town of Palmyra 

Total votes for Hillary Clinton went up by 2

Total votes for Donald Trump went down by 1

Observations:

For Town of Concord – 

  •  the Town Clerk did not bring his poll book so it could not be verified against the county book.  He is bringing it on Monday.  
  • 41 votes had to be done on a ballot copy because they ran out of ballots on election day.  Those were included in the totals and were confirmed today. 
  • The number of absentee envelopes was 1 less than the number of absentee votes.  They were unable to resolve this issue

No observations for 2 other municipalities.  

Overall observations

One of the people counting at the table had a black pen and all others had red.  I took a picture.  I did not observe him using it for anything other than writing down vote totals but just wanted to note it.  

Clerk, Barbara, was friendly and transparent.  No issues.  

All observers were either Green party of Democratic party.  No Trump observers were there.
