Image Match Report Introduction

This report is the result of a complete examination of all ballot images to create a cryptographic hash of each image file, to make it easy to local duplicated image files. There will be a hash value for each side of each sheet, but sometimes no "back" image is provided, so these may not be the same. When repeated images are detected, the first images detected are kept and all repeats of those are "skipped". If repeated images are detected, then it could have been caused by uploading results from the same machine multiple times.

Repeated Ballots table:

These ballot images were detected as exact matches, and may have been accidentally uploaded twice. This report shows only 'is_match' rows (the kept matches) and the matching ballot_ids (which were 'is_skipped_match' and not kept.) Exact repeats are sometimes included in ES&S data when nonBMD ballots include 2 sheets and BMD ballot summary cards include only one. In this case, both CVR records that correspond to these ballots should be combined into one, and compared with only one extracted BMD image.
