Part 7 - Filing Protests (410-RICR-20-00-7)
Section 410-RICR-20-00-7.4 - Voting Procedures - Limitations of the CVRS

A. Under the current procedure for voting, the CVRS does not always immediately reflect the accurate post-election results as determined by a count of the computer ballots. These delays can create the appearance of inconsistencies between the number of signed voter applications collected and the number of computer ballots collected in any given voting precinct.

B. Therefore, due to the lack of reliability of CVRS data immediately following an election, any evidence related to the CVRS will not be deemed competent or admissible evidence in any protest hearing.
