Report Notes

These notes are kept in params, in report_notes_CA_SanFrancisco_20241105_sheet1.md. Each states what analysis of a report found. A draft note is not yet confirmed by a person.

note report section status
N001, Two D04 batches not in the CVR bif_report Sheets with no CVR record and no known sheet draft

bif_report: Sheets with no CVR record and no known sheet

N001, Two D04 batches not in the CVR

Status: draft

Ballots and batches: 00035_00169, 00035_00170, 00995_00000

full_bif has 357 fewer rows than the images inspected, 412,351 against 412,708. The 357 are the sheets in full_bif/residue/no_cvr_residue.csv. They have no CVR record, and their card code is a code of sheet 2, 3 or 4. This job audits sheet 1, so they are not placed.

A sheet with no CVR record has no sheet number until its card code is read from its image. So the 357 are known only after the images are inspected.

291 of the 357 come from D04 Election Day batches 00035_00169 and 00035_00170 of Pre_PCT 9435. Those batches hold 185 and 203 sheets. The CVR has no record of either. Tabulator 35 is a central scanner.

Batch 00995_00000, in the same folder, holds 388 sheets of Pre_PCT 9435, all with CVR records. It is a polling-place scanner batch. Its card codes are the same set as those of the two batches. Its 97 sheet-1 ballots have the same set of style and extracted votes as their 97.

One pair is one paper scanned twice: 00035_00169_000160 and 00995_00000_263592. Their vote marks have the same hand-drawn outlines. The central scan bears a stamp that reads Nov15/24. The polling-place scan does not.

Not yet known: whether each of the 97 ballots was scanned twice, and why the central scan was made. The Batch Pairs Report shows the first 50 pairs side by side, for a person to check.

full_bif holds the 97 sheet-1 ballots of the two batches and the 97 of 00995_00000. If each pair is one paper, those 97 ballots are read twice in the audit.
