At the state level, the State Voter Registrar authorized delegates obtain all the data that was successfully transmitted from each precinct. The ERPPR process consists of extracting all voter selections in each race in two categories: Verified Voters and Provisional Voters. The data is transferred from the individual Precinct transmissions into the State database of all races, including all votes for all candidates from each race. The transfer should literally take seconds to transfer the data.
Ideally, all dissemination of voter derived from the State Voter Registrar database shall be a simple release of all races of both verified and unverified (provisional) voters from each precinct. This will allow for full disclosure, as well as the ability to provide transparency into each precinct’s performance as well as various vote methods used. All races can be derived from the State database once the authorized transmissions are received from the precincts. In addition, it makes it impossible for “vote harvesting†to flourish, in that Election Day (the final day a voter can vote) will have already accounted for every ballot that was distributed, as there is a hard count on those numbers that must be in the system.
It should be noted that all results derived from the transmissions are UNOFFICIAL. Remember, the official count will only occur once all ballots are counted by hand in the process to be defined later. However, for Election Night reporting, the summary data will provide the results for immediate review.
