Election Board Meeting 11-12-26

The Grant County Election Board met on November 12, 2026, to address certification of the 2026 general election. Members approved four returned ballots with signature or other discrepancies for processing and inclusion in the final totals; no objections were raised. The board deferred a final certification vote because up to four additional ballots could still arrive by the applicable noon deadline, and planned to reconvene later that day to consider any that were received and then vote on certification. The transcript does not establish whether the board ultimately reconvened or certified the election.

The board also discussed its post-election audit. It reported no evidence that voters had received incorrect ballots, while noting that an investigation was continuing and could involve outside assistance; the board expected to complete its review within weeks. Members discussed reviewing poll-worker comments and election machine and poll-book records, including a posting deadline. No procurement activity, spending decisions, or vendor selections were identified.
