So what happens in Maricopa county is Maricopa county only uses tabulation equipment that has been both federally and state certified. Then Before every election, the secretary of state brings a test stack of ballots that have already been filled out. And they know the answers to those, so to speak. They know what the outcome should be. They run them through the different tabulators, and they make sure that the tabulators read those ballots as they were marked. (12:45–12:57)
