Amid continuing concerns about the validity of the results, the D.C. Board of Elections and Ethics still hasn’t certified the results of the Sept. 9 primary election. New pre-certified results were released on Sept. 20, and today, the board released its final post election audit report. You can download the nine-page PDF for yourself. According to the report, the audit consisted of four three-member teams, each reviewing the ballots of randomly selected precincts, which were precincts 13, 21, 22 and 44. None of the audited precincts showed differences between manual recounts and voting machine results of more than one or two votes in any given race, though there were small inconsistencies between hand counts in two of the precincts.

Despite the audit results, the BOEE has decided to conduct a manual recount of precinct #141, the Reeves Center polling place that was originally brought under scrutiny in the immediate wake of the questionable early vote tallies. The Post reports that the board put off certifying the results earlier today in order to perform this additional recount this afternoon. We’re also still waiting on the BOEE to release its complete report on the investigation into the faulty cartridge from precinct #141.
