The first statewide post election review of votes cast in each of Minnesota’s 87 counties is complete and the results should give Minnesota voters renewed confidence in the state’s voting machines, said Mark Halvorson, director and co-founder of Citizens for Election Integrity Minnesota.

The State Canvassing Board met Tuesday at the State Office Building and certified the election results. The accuracy of Minnesota’s electronic voting machines was assessed for the first time through a hand count of randomly selected precincts in each county. “Our goal is to help Minnesota set the gold standard for accurate and verifiable elections,” said Halvorson. “Based on reports from our observers in 70 counties, we are impressed by the accuracy of the machines that were reviewed and the professionalism of the county election officials.”

Secretary of State Mary Kiffmeyer commented, “Now we have a way to publicly demonstrate the accuracy of our voting machines.”
