Secretary of the State Denise Merrill has randomly selected voting precincts to have results audited following the November 5th general election. Five percent of polling places are subject to the audit under state law. Those manually counted ballots will be matched against vote totals from optical scan machines.  Among the locations selected at random is the Lillis Building, Schaghticoke School and Gaylordsville Fire House--all in New Milford, and the Bethlehem Town Office Building.  Alternate locations selected include Center Fire House District 1 in Southbury.  Merrill says auditing election results is one of the strongest protections there is to ensure that the results of Connecticut’s elections accurately reflect the votes cast.
