A DISCUSSION WAS HELD REGARDING THE INFORMATION RECEIVED ABOUT THE RECOUNT REQUESTS FROM PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES.  OUR OFFICE HAS GOTTEN A CHECK FOR $430 FROM N. V.R.I. WHICH HAS BEEN HELD AND ALL INFORMATION FORWARDED TO OUR COUNTY PROSECUTOR.
WE HAVE BEEN GUIDED TO FOLLOW THE O.R.C. FOR DIRECTIONS ONTHE RECOUNT. THIS REQUIRES A HAND COUNT OF 3% WHICH FOR US IS 528 BALLOTS (17,612 VOTED)
A MOTION WAS MADE BY DAVID BURNS TO HAND COUNT PRECINCT 3-C, SECONDED BY DON ANDREWS AND PASSED. THEN BECAUSE WE HAD NEARLY 7,000 WRITE-INS, THE BOARD FELT THAT THE MACHINE COUNT COULD BE MADE WITHOUT THE WRITE-IN STOPPING THE MACHINE BUT EACH SECTION OF WRITE-IN BALLOTS BE VIEWED BY A RESOLUTION BOARD TO IDENTIFY PRESIDENTIAL WRITE-INS ONLY. A MOTION TO THIS WAS MADE BY DON ANDREWS, SECONDED BY MARY FRITZ AND PASSED.
