3) No. However, they would match the reports. We post those tapes here at the courthouse as well as at each poll location so anyone can view them and compare our published numbers to the actual tapes. Many of the candidates will have people assigned to various polls to obtain those numbers before the poll workers can drive downtown and would quickly notice a disparity. Also, the reports are compared to the tapes through a canvassing procedure after each election. For a primary election, the party is responsible for conducting the canvass and we facilitate it. For a general election, we conduct the canvass ourselves.
The poll tapes (depending on the machine) often only show totals. Can you ask him if the tapes only show the totals or the individual candidate numbers.
In Bev Harris videos, you'll see the machine output on a tape the results for each candidate. If that's available, that's what we need, regardless of their procedures for having checked it.
Thanks for posting though.
