Inside the Investigation

The 79, in full

Every difference that resolved to a match with a plausible explanation, grouped by precinct and mechanism.

What this is. Every one of the 79 first-pass differences that resolved to a match with a plausible explanation in the 2022 Wake County Midterm analysis, shown in full. Each is a poll-tape total that differed from the official value by a small, non-contest-flipping amount, accounted for by a canvass mechanism the Wake County Board of Elections itself identified. These are matches, not discrepancies. The Mechanism fit column marks whether the size of the difference is within what the cited mechanism can produce (see the mechanism-fit check).

Precinct 17-04 — 22 values
