AuditEngine is primarily a ballot image auditing system, and that means the ballot images must be available. Of the most populous counties in the U.S., 97% use equipment that makes ballot images as a part of their normal processing steps. But not all states provide that ballot images are accessible as public records, and some counties routinely delete the ballot images. For those cases when we offer our services directly to county governments, we can keep the ballot images secured for the vast majority of the ballots unless they require adjudication.

## Current Projects

- [Georgia](GA_2020.md) -- top 27 counties out of 159 (17%) includes 70% of the electorate
- Recent changes in state law provides that all ballot images are available, and we have obtained more than half of them as of this writing.
- [Wisconsin](WI_2020.md) -- top 18 counties out of 72 (25%) includes 70% of the electorate. [Donate to WI audits Now!](https://engine.auditengine.org/projects/WI_20201103)
- Ballot images are public records and counties are cooperative.
- [Florida](FL_2020.md) -- top 20 counties out of 67 (29%) includes 80% of the electorate
- Ballot images are public records, but many counties do not save them.
- We have conducted a [three-county case study](audit-results/case_study.md), including Volusia, Collier and St. Lucie counties.
- [Arizona](AZ_2020.md), Maricopa County -- This single county out of 15 includes 60% of the electorate.
- Ballot images are not easily available but we are still working to get them.

In this case, we of course found that there were many missing ballot images in Fulton County, (380,000) and we found 5 ballots from the preceding primary (which is pretty strange, because the ballots were a little longer physically in that election), and we found 5 ballots from DeKalb county, which is next door.

- It is essential that this equipment be set so the ballot images are not deleted after they are used to extract the vote.
- These images are then transferred to the Election Management System (EMS) from voter-facing scanners using flash media or from central scan operations using similar methods.
- The EMS can export the ballot images for use by AuditEngine. These should be placed into ZIP archives with about 30,000 to 50,000 ballots per archive.

- **Ballot Style Masters:**

- It is necessary for us to generate a map of the targets (ovals) on hand-marked paper ballots and what they mean. To do this with the least opportunity for human error, we can parse the ballot style master PDF files. These are the files actually sent to the printing contractor, and must have all barcode information included, and be in "searchable" PDF format.

- **Election Information File (EIF):**
- Our system requires additional information regarding the information actually printed on the ballots. This we can generally generate automatically by parsing the CVRs files.
