The General Election results for the county have been verified and certified by the bipartisan Greene County Verification Board, according to county clerk, Shane Schoeller.
In a news release he said, “regardless of whether their candidate prevailed on November 3rd, all Greene County voters can be confident that this election was conducted with the highest integrity and professionalism through the hard work of bipartisan members of this office and bipartisan election judges, and that their voice was heard through the casting of their ballot.”
The Greene County Verification Board is part of the statutory process that leads to final certification. The process includes a public pre-test and post-test of electronic tabulation equipment; a randomly drawn manual recount of no less than five percent of all polling places for one contest in each of five contest categories and a manual recount for any contest where the top two candidates are separated by a margin of difference being equal to or less than ½ of one percent.
This year’s Board is composed of Schoeller, Democrat Peggy Stepp and Republican Darrel Smith.
