2013 SENATE DISTRICT 11 RECALL ELECTION SEPTEMBER 10,2013

The following narrative will serve to fulfill the requirements of C.R.S. 1-7-514(2}(c} which requires a description of the post-election audit process undertaken by the canvass board and the EI Paso County Clerk and Recorder.

The post-election audit was executed by Canvass board members:

Linda Kay (Democratic Party)

David Louderback (Republican Party),

in concert with Tim Bishop, deputized employee of the Clerk and Recorder's office .

The following information was collected and evaluated prior to the audit as required: GEMS reports for each individual machine, Device specific summary reports indicating the total count of ballots on the device, and voted ballots (and/or V-VPAT records) from each individual device. Additional supporting documentation from Election Day was readily available including documentation from Judges, poll book records. statements from ballots issued/recorded, etc.

As indicated on the attached report, the Canvass board members manually documented the counting of recorded votes on either the ballots or V-VPAT records, tied this number to the summary of votes cast by the device, and mapped it back to the GEMS report for the memory card that was uploaded into the device. In EVERY CASE the results matched . This process was executed for all devices selected in the Early Voting and Vote Center category.

Finally, the testing board verified the Hash value to match the public copy of the hash value available through the Secretary of State's office on all ORE voting equipment pursuant to Colorado Secretary of State Rule 11 .5.4.7.1

We the CanvasslTesting Board and representatives of the Clerk and Recorder's office indicated above agree that this document is an accurate reflection of post-election activities and the verification of tabulation equipment to accurately count votes as required in EI Paso County, Colorado.
