Atlantic, IA – Cass County Auditor Kathy Somers today (Monday, 11/14), conducted a successful post-election audit of two races in the General Election.  Somers said ballots in the Grant/Anita/Lincoln/Benton/Franklin/Wiota precinct were hand counted by election workers to ensure they matched the totals reported by the ballot tabulator. The precinct was randomly selected by the Secretary of State following election day. The gubernatorial race and constitutional amendment ballot measure were audited. The results matched 100%. Post-election audits are mandatory in all 99 counties following each election.

The Cass County Auditor’s office thanks each of the poll workers and audit board members who willingly served their community by assisting with election day and the audit. Anyone interested in being a poll worker for future elections, please contact the auditor’s office at 712-243-4570.
