ABERDEEN, S.D. (Hub City Radio)-

On Thursday night, a hand counted audit was done to see if the vote tally matched what the vote tabulating had on election night.  The vote center used for the audit was the Stratford Community Center.  The races used for the audit were the State Auditor and Amendment I.

129 ballots were casted at the Stratford Community Center on election day.

The audit proved the vote tally by hand did match the votes casted on election night.

The State Auditor vote was:

Catherine Barrasco(R)

Tom Cool(D) 44

Amendment I:

No 67

Yes 44

The process took about 30 minutes to get done from the counting of the ballots to the count of the votes themselves.

The Auditor’s Office will submit their results to the South Dakota Secretary of State’s Office.
