(Atlantic, Iowa) – Cass County Auditor/Commissioner of Election Kathy Somers, reports that on Thursday, June 6, 2024, she oversaw the post-election audit of the Cass County Primary Election. The audited number of votes matched the election night ballot count 100%.

Post-election audits are mandatory in all Iowa counties. Following election day, the Secretary of State’s office selects one precinct, by lot, to be audited. The Atlantic 4 precinct was selected, and the post-election audit board, consisting of representatives of both the Republican and Democratic parties, was instructed to hand-count the race for U.S. House of Representatives. Each step of the audit process was a successful match.

Somers said “I want to thank everyone involved in the election-day process, including precinct election officials, other support volunteers, and the auditor’s office staff members who worked diligently to ensure Cass County residents were allowed to vote securely, and in accordance with state laws.”
