Video Transcript AI Summary
There are concerns about duplicate ballots in the audit. The speaker mentions that there should be a lower count due to duplicates, but they are not seeing any reference to duplicates in the forms. Speaker 1 explains that duplicate ballots are created when the original ballot is damaged and cannot be processed. These duplicates should have a matching 6-digit serial number with the original damaged ballot, but they cannot find the matching originals.

In fact, I I was so surprised that I, brought the The 2 observers from the secretary of state's office over along with some other volunteer observers from various parties just to kinda document that We're running into, batch after batch after batch of ballots sent to duplication but there's no unique serial number or identification number on the ballot that had to be duplicated That should correspond with a ballot over in the has been duplicated box.
Speaker 1: Bennett said those should match up 1 for 1, and they should match Up to the total number of ballots as a whole.
