Audit gives county perfect marks
A state audit of the 2022 general election is complete with no errors found other than a few spoiled ballots in several counties selected for audit, according to Idaho Secretary of State Lawerence Denney. The audit, held in mid-November, was conducted in seven randomly selected counties in Idaho based on population. Five Secretary of State teams were went to the counties — Ada, Bonner, Bonneville, Kootenai, Minidoka, Neb Perce, Oneida and Shoshone.
Bonner County picked for election audit
Bonner County was one of the eight counties randomly selected for an election audit by the Idaho Secretary of State. After the last cycle, the Idaho Legislature passed House Bill 349 and Senate Bill 1274 which directed the Idaho Secretary of State to develop an audit process. The measure has been interpreted as requiring a random selection of two out three of the largest counties, three out of eight of the medium-sized counties, and three out of 33 of the smallest counties. This year, Bonner County’s number was drawn.
