September 2022: Washington County, WI Clerk Ashley Reichert Suggested A Full Hand Recount Of The 2022 General Election “As Part Of An Audit Doing The Top State Race And The Top Federal Race.” “The committee voted unanimously to approve the use of up to $75,000 in strategic priority funds to upgrade the county's election system management software. The committee then voted on doing a full recount by hand of the governor, lieutenant governor and U.S. senator elections in the general election on Nov. 8. According to Reichert, the county audits every election held, by choice. Normally, the county will randomly select two reporting units in the county and then hand-count the ballots in two of the races in the election and compare the results with the voting machine tabulations. 'What we are suggesting doing for the 2022 general election is hand-counting the entire county as a part of an audit doing the top state race and the top federal race, which would be governor, lieutenant governor and then the U.S. Senate race, and hand-counting all of those,' said Reichert.” [Washington County Daily News, 9/22/22]

The funding would come out of the strategic priority fund. She added that she doesn't believe the recount would cost the full $50,000, as in 2016 the full recount cost roughly $36,000.” [Washington County Daily News, 9/22/22]

Washington County Would Have To Upgrade Its Software To Program The Machines In-House But Reichert Said, “It’s The Same Software, It’s Just A Program That Gives Me The Capability Of Inputting All The Data That I Compile Already.” “Currently, the county has the 'lite' version of the software used for the voting machines, and would need to pay for upgrading to the full version so they can start programming the machines in-house again. The county will be able to use the same voting machines with the full version of the program. 'It's the same software, it's just a program that gives me the capability of inputting all of the data that I compile already,' said Reichert.
