In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
This year’s primary election saw the statewide implementation of risk-limiting audits, a process mandated by state law enacted in 2025. These audits employ statistical methods to ensure the accuracy of reported vote totals, providing a high level of confidence in the election outcomes. Further details regarding the methodology and purpose of risk-limiting audits can be found on the State Board of Elections’ dedicated webpage. The certification process, overseen by the Board of State Canvassers, is a crucial step in upholding the integrity of the election system, ensuring that all valid votes are counted and that the public can trust the results. Election officials have been recognized for their dedicated efforts in administering a secure and accessible primary election.
The Board of State Canvassers is comprised of five ex officio members. These individuals include the Attorney General, represented by the Deputy Attorney General; the Comptroller, also represented by a Deputy Attorney General; the State Treasurer; the Secretary of State; and the Clerk of the Supreme Court.
