During the 2024 statewide election, bipartisan teams did a hand-count audit for ballots in three contests, and 3% of precincts were randomly selected statewide. This review resulted in the hand-counting of nearly 8,000 ballots across 40 precincts. There were zero discrepancies between the hand count and Nebraska’s ballot counting equipment. By comparison, studies have found the discrepancy rate for hand-counted ballots often ranges from 0.3% to 1%.
