Washington County Attorney Eric Clarke told the Hurricane council if they voted to end the agreement in which the county pays for ballots, mailing, machine counting and, if needed, hand counting during an audit, they'd be the only city in Utah to do so.
Election workers sort vote-by-mail ballots at the Salt Lake County ballot processing center on Tuesday, Nov. 8, 2022.Washington County Attorney Eric Clarke made an appearance at last week’s meeting. He told the council if they voted to end, in which the county pays for ballots, mailing, machine counting and, if needed, hand counting during an audit, they would be the only city in Utah to do so.
“Going away from the machines and doing hand counts is a less accurate way to count ballots,” Clarke stated. “It has worked for the last several years in Utah.” Councilman Joseph Prete told those in attendance that, in his opinion, there is wrongdoing in the ballot counting process, though it was unclear which election he was speaking about.
“My feeling all along has been that, whether it’s grounded or not, there is widespread, you know, question mark about the election process and the machines,” he said.
