LINCOLN- Secretary of State Bob Evnen announced that an audit of the 2022 general election has found only eleven discrepancies in the state's voting system. That translates to an error rate of 0.023%. “Our friends and neighbors who run our elections have done exemplary work,” Evnen said. “We should be thanking and congratulating them for the work they have done.”

Evnen said he ordered the expanded audit to answer questions raised about the integrity of elections both in Nebraska and across the country. There have been no claims of election fraud in Nebraska, but Evnen said he thought it was “important to check and see how we’re doing on a broader basis and to report those findings.”

In all, a total of 48,292 ballots randomly selected ballots were counted by hand by local election canvassing boards, with representatives from both major political parties looking at the races for governor, U.S. House of Representatives, and a local race. Of the 11 ballots that were flagged for discrepancies, the secretary of state’s office said five had ovals that were filled in too lightly for the tabulating machines to detect. The remaining six were counted by the machines but were missing from the precinct box — likely filed away in another precinct’s box, Evnen said.
