Al Schmidt: “It's a 2% audit of all ballots that were cast and recorded…”

“After every election in Pennsylvania, there are two types of reviews or audits that are carried out. The one, as you describe it, and shorthand, we call it the 2% audit. It's a 2% audit of all ballots that were cast and recorded to ensure those results are accurate. It's either 2% or 2,000 ballots in a county, depending on total number of votes. So? So that is one method to ensure that the tabulated results are accurate.” (00:10–00:20)
