Upon receipt of this notice, the Secretary of State shall immediately generate a list of random numbers for that county, which shall determine which signatures are to be verified for each candidate. This list shall be transmitted to the clerk within one day of actual receipt of the total signature count. Upon receiving the random number list, the clerk shall verify each signature indicated thereon.
