Canvassers reviewed the zero report tapes to verify all totals were zero at the beginning of the night on the tabulation equipment.  Votes cast at the April 2, 2019 Spring Election were verified reviewing the highest number of votes cast is the same or less than the highest numbers of voters reporting on poll lists, and verifying that the number of ballots cast is the same or less than the highest number of voters on the poll lists.  Inspectors’ Statements and Incident Logs were also reviewed and canvass incidents and adjustments noted. 

Two provisional ballots were cast and votes were counted.  No discrepancies were noted.

Items of note:

City of Baraboo, Wards 2-3, 6-7, 10-12, 14 conducted a drawdown of a blank ballot on election night as the poll book showed one more vote than the ballots counted.  They were unable to find the discrepancy, and therefore conducted the drawdown.
