There’s no evidence the ballot was actually counted. No answers by NCSBE as to how a ballot could be counted but not scanned. Board had nearly a week before I published this and didn’t take steps to look for ballot before then. Worth sharing our story w/ full context

Two questions: 1) What does 'counted but not scanned' mean? 2) How is one supposed to 'look for a ballot' by an individual after it's been counted without compromising the secret ballot? *Should* not even be theoretically possible to tie ballot to person after election. Is it?

RE: #2--That's kind of the point of the Australian/secret ballot, IMHO.

NCSBE says it located Lee Ann Herring’s ballot on Friday. Now attributes her vote as having not been recorded to the fact her ballot wasn’t scanned into a database or manually entered by county election staff. Not clear how a ballot could be tabulated but not put in the database

I’m not an elections expert (I’d say @BowTiePolitics is). I just repeat what people tell me and ask questions for a living. This is what I’m told about Herring’s ballot and the questions I still have in light of the explanation.
