This is how the system works. Audits and checks.
Frederick County election workers on Wednesday will decertify the results of the July 19 primary and rescan all mail-in and provisional ballots after discovering an inconsistency in their numbers, state and local officials said Monday.
The recount Keegan-Ayer requested has been canceled. Candidates will be able to request recounts again once the rescanning and recertification is complete.
Keegan-Ayer said Monday’s news “shows that the electoral process is transparent.”
“They found a mistake. They are immediately coming back and correcting and rectifying that mistake,” she said in a phone interview. “I would tell my constituents: Let the process work. The system will work.”
