Heading: discrepancies between number of ballots cast and number of signatures on the register

Text: Appellees alleged in their motion for summary judgment before the superior court that several hundred ballots given to voters who signed the original registers were lost or unaccounted for. [9] This allegation was based on a comparison of the total number of ballots cast in certain districts and the number of voter signatures appearing on the original registers. The state's subsequent audit of the registers showed that most of these discrepancies were explainable as errors in the original register which were traceable through the duplicate register and the questioned voter register. [10] The noncandidate appellants conceded that approximately 80 of the apparent discrepancies remain unresolved. [11] However, the superior court found that the number of ballots involved were not of such a magnitude ... to warrant any conclusion of malconduct. This holding is affirmed. [12]
