Connecticut selects 49 precincts for post-election audits

Connecticut selected 49 precincts at random for routine post-election audits, as state law requires machine totals from 5% of precincts to be checked. Bipartisan local officials will re-tabulate voter-marked paper ballots and compare the counts with voting-machine results. The audits must be completed by Nov. 23, after which the reports will go to the University of Connecticut for independent analysis; findings will be filed with the State Elections Enforcement Commission and made public.
