The Board of Canvassers in Door and Kewaunee counties have completed their work to certify the results from last week’s fall election. The Board of Canvassers serves as a check and balance of the election by looking at machine tapes, poll books, and inspector statements and compares it to what was sent to the county. Door County Clerk Jill Lau says it had no discrepancies and had an observer for only the second time during her tenure. Kewaunee County Clerk Jamie Annoye says they also had one observer and their only issues were for write-in votes. If the state’s certification of the fall election results leads to a recount, Lau told DoorCountyDailyNews.com last week that a lot of work will go into it before they even touch a ballot.
The Board of Canvassers will also look at all absentee ballot envelopes to make sure all the information was filled out completely. Lau estimates it will take Door County anywhere from four to eight days to complete a recount if requested, compared to a few hours to finish a canvass.
