Residents of Butts County are gearing up for a critical examination of their electoral process, as the local Board of Elections and Registration has announced a risk-limiting audit of the votes from last Tuesday, General Election. The audit, a check to ensure the electronic vote count reflects the paper ballots, will start at 10:00 a.m. this Friday at the Butts County Administration Building, with members of the public invited to witness the proceedings.
The process, detailed in the announcement made available on the county website, comes under the guidance of O.C.G.A 21-2-498 and serves as a safeguard to election integrity. The audit is not merely a bureaucratic procedure; it’s a tangible representation of democracy’s checks and balances ensuring each citizen’s voice is duly counted and verified. The
