Subject: Update from Caleb Kleppner
Cc: caleb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Caleb Kleppner reported that after all ballots had been scanned on
Monday, March 31, he reviewed every single ballot in both staff and
listener elections and reconciled the lists of PINs and eligible
voters. This involved eliminating listener ballots cast by people
eligible to vote in the listener election and eliminating original
ballots cast when a replacement ballot was also received. From this
reconciliation, he produced an overall list of PINs voted, a list of
names and addresses of people who turned in eligible ballots, and a
list of unmatched PINs that did not appear in the list of eligible
voters. Official STV tallies will be run with and without the
ballots containing unmatched. He expects to report final certified
results by Wednesday, April 9.
Delays in certifying the election resulted from a) being home with a
sick child, b) the large number of PINs that were not machine
readable, and c) several features of the printed ballots that
required a significant number of ballot images to be corrected in the
reviewing process.
If you wish to contact Caleb before or after the results are
certified, you can reach him at 203-376-4080 or

Cowardice asks the question: is it safe?
Expediency asks the question: is it politic?
Vanity asks the question: is it popular?
But conscience asks the question: is it right?
And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither
safe, nor politic, nor popular - but one must take it simply because
it is right.
