Summary
Burleigh County just completed its first-ever post-election audit—a new law since 2025 requiring manual recounting of a sample of ballots to verify machine accuracy. Chosen polling spot: Solheim Elementary. Officials hand-counted ballots, then re-ran them through machines to confirm results. Designed to boost trust, the audit follows strict rules: at least 5% of ballots, 25–300 total, per county. It’s a simple, standardized step to ensure every vote counts right—making elections more transparent and secure. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
