Jo Dalquest, Deputy County Clerk, reported there were 19 provisional ballots. Dalquest made the recommendation that the Board count 12 of the provisional ballots. These were cast by individuals that had either moved and had not re- registered, or went to the wrong precinct. Dalquest then recommended that the remaining 6 not be counted.
