Post-election audits from across Ohio’s county boards of elections showed a 99.9% accuracy rate in the Nov. 2020 election, Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose’s office said Wednesday.
CLEVELAND, Ohio --
“The transparency of this process, conducted by election officials from both parties, and the accuracy of the audit results should reinforce every voter’s belief that their vote mattered and was counted accurately,” LaRose said. “Ohioans can be proud that our state runs secure and fair elections.”The first is a “percentage-based audit,” with 5% of the ballots cast county-wide randomly counted and affirmed.
Hocking County’s audit ended with a 99.63% accuracy rate, a discrepancy of 2 votes in the measured contest, a pair of tax levies and the 15th Congressional District special election. Cuyahoga County completed its audit of the 2021 election in December. The county performs what is known as a “risk-limiting audit,” which selects a random sampling of ballots based on where deviations are most likely to occur.
