Ridgefield Primary Audit Comes Through With Flying Colors
Ridgefield was recently selected to participate in the post-election audit of the most recent primary—and, once again, the town came through with flying colors.
The audit confirmed that the voting machines accurately counted the ballots they were supposed to count, while correctly discarding ballots and markings they were not supposed to count.
For the Registrars of Voters and the poll workers who work behind the scenes to make sure every election is conducted accurately and securely, the results are a welcome confirmation that the system worked exactly as it should.
In other words: the machines counted what they were supposed to—and didn’t count what they weren’t supposed to.
Another election, another audit, another clean bill of health for Ridgefield.
