2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Fitrakis says 19 Wisconsin counties refusing to give [View all]Aimee in OKC
(163 posts)Ordinary people just might be able to count some ballots independently, especially important if interested in more than just the presidential results.
As Optical Scan machines read a ballot, they capture an anonymous image of it. No personal information means there shouldn't be any legal reason to refuse to release the images.
Use a notarized FOIA request to election officials to demand the images of the election results you want. They could give in, refuse, drag it out ... so to get a yes or no as soon as possible, best to go in person. Take along at least two brand-new, still-wrapped flash drives to download the files. Count the votes & enter into a spreadsheet for tracking.
