A ballot is invalid and no votes on that ballot may be counted if it is found folded together with another ballot or it is marked so as to identify the voter. Those parts of a ballot are invalid and no votes may be counted for those issues or offices where more votes are cast for the office or issue than are permitted by law; write-in votes do not contain all of the information required under "RCW 29A.60.020; or that issue or office is not marked with sufficient definiteness to determine the voter's choice or intention. No write-in vote may be rejected due to a variation in the form of the name if the election board or the canvassing board can determine the issue for or against which or the person and the office for which the voter intended to vote.

Cross-checked all opening board log sheets to see that they were entered on this reconciliation tally sheet correctly. RESULT: All entries on this tally sheet are the same as provided by the opening boards. 2. Examined all original ballots that were duplicated to be certain the duplicate ballot was not held upstairs in error (and thus did not get included in the count). RESULT: There were no duplicate ballots retained with the originals. 3. Explored whether the difference in precincts could be due to ballots of same style but for different precincts being counted. RESULT: In only two instances would this be possible. (Precincts 701 and 801 are the same style; 218, 242 and 246 are of the same style and perhaps one vote could be accounted for in this manner. The net effect change could only be one vote.) CONCLUSION. There were differences between the opening board count and the machine count in 13 precincts. The precincts in which a difference in count occurred (between what the machine counted and what was expected to be counted) is most likely due to counting errors at the opening boards. The net effect was the machine counted two more votes than was expected to be counted from the opening board reports. In reviewing reports from the election management system, the number of ballots issued, returned and forwarded to the opening boards equals the number of ballots counted by the ballot tabulation system (25,216), which would lend credence to the theory that the discrepancies were due to counting errors at the opening boards. 2005 primary.xls 9/30/2005 Whatcom County MAIL BALLOT OFFICIAL RESULTS PRIMARY ELECTION Cumulative Totals September 20, 2005 KMU10 I MA I IUIV & 1 UKIVUU I Non Partisan Completed Precincts Total Registration Mail Ballots Cast REGISTRATION & TURNOUT Whatcom County Completed Precincts Total Registration Mail Ballots Cast Total Ballots Cast BELLINGHAM COUNCIL AT -LARGE Completed Precincts Under Votes: Over Votes: LOUISE BJORNSON FRANK E.

Cross-checked all opening board log sheets to see that they were entered on this reconciliation tally sheet correctly. RESULT: All entries on this tally sheet are the same as provided by the opening boards. 2. Examined all original ballots that were duplicated to be certain the duplicate ballot was not held upstairs in error (and thus did not get included in the count). RESULT: There were no duplicate ballots retained with the originals. 3. Explored whether the difference in precincts could be due to ballots of same style but for different precincts being counted. RESULT: In only two instances would this be possible. (Precincts 701 and 801 are the same style; 218, 242 and 246 are of the same style and perhaps one vote could be accounted for in this manner. The net effect change could only be one vote.) CONCLUSION. There were differences between the opening board count and the machine count in 13 precincts. The precincts in which a difference in count occurred (between what the machine counted and what was expected to be counted) is most likely due to counting errors at the opening boards. The net effect was the machine counted two more votes than was expected to be counted from the opening board reports. In reviewing reports from the election management system, the number of ballots issued, returned and forwarded to the opening boards equals the number of ballots counted by the ballot tabulation system (25,216), which would lend credence to the theory that the discrepancies were due to counting errors at the opening boards. 2005 primary.xls 9/30/2005 MAIL BALLOT OFFICIAL RESULTS PRIMARY ELECTION Whatcom County Cumulative Totals September 20, 2005 REGISTRATION & TURNOUT Non Partisan Completed Precincts 86 of 86 Total Registration 74,075 Mail Ballots Cast 25,216 34.04% Total Ballots Cast 25,216 34.04% REGISTRATION & TURNOUT Whatcom County Completed Precincts 86 of 86 Total Registration 74,075 Mail Ballots Cast 25,216 34.04% Total Ballots Cast 25.216 34.04% BELLINGHAM COUNCIL AT -LARGE Completed Precincts Under Votes: Over Votes: LOUISE BJORNSON FRANK E.
