Why we checked itA specific assertion about the completeness and integrity of Maine's ballot reconciliation process — verifiable against audit records and election administration reports
What we foundMaine's ballot reconciliation process is designed to account for every ballot, but official records and real-world incidents show discrepancies and unaccounted-for ballots do occur, making the claim that every single ballot is accounted for 'to the very last ballot' an overstatement of the system's practical outcome.
