§ 26-7-134.1. Voting devices - Recounts.

In counties using voting devices, if on election night the uncounted ballots in a precinct exceed two percent (2%) of the total number of persons voting in the precinct or if the voting device has malfunctioned in such a way that there are no totals on the printout or if the printout is illegible or if, due to the malfunction, properly cast ballots placed in the emergency bin were not processed through the device, the county election board is authorized to open the transfer case and to recount the ballots on election night using a preassigned voting device in public view and in the presence of a representative of the sheriff's office.  Upon completion of the recount the transfer case shall be resealed by members of the county election board.
