Woodbury County officials hand count nearly 2,000 ballots in post-election audit

Woodbury County election officials hand-counted nearly 2,000 ballots at the courthouse in Sioux City as part of a post-election audit. The Sergeant Bluff precinct was selected for review, with officials checking the U.S. Senate and state treasurer races. County Auditor Michelle Skaff said the audit helps verify that voting machines recorded results accurately. The results will be submitted to Iowa’s Secretary of State before county supervisors certify the election.
