A county wide recount could would take 3 weeks.

One of the ballot machines is down, it needs a new motherboard, which won’t be available because of a supply chain issue.

Giorgiana Lascu @glascu 15/25

Correction: @cuyahogaboe has 7 ballot counting machines and 2 are currently down.

Giorgiana Lascu @glascu 16/25

The @cuyahogaboe was only anticipating a partial county election in May, but if a statewide issue hits the ballot there could be a full county election.

The checks for poll workers just went hit the mail.

Giorgiana Lascu @glascu 18/25

The @cuyahogaboe might be coming out with proposed precinct changes in December.

Giorgiana Lascu @glascu 19/25

These changes are due to census data and ward changes and need to be prioritized due to a Feb. or March deadline. Areas that will be prioritized include Parma, Fairview, and Berea.

Giorgiana Lascu @glascu 20/25

The @cuyahogaboe will collaborate with the city counsel on proposals for new precincts and to try and get a final version and then notify the voters.
