Report by Green Party Observer

The Ottawa County recount started and ended on Monday, December 13th. They had two counting stations and we had two witnesses to observe the recount. There were also observers from the Democratic and Republican parties.

While I observed one of the Republican members of the board clearly advocate for one of his party's witnesses, who did not have the required documentation, there were no other incidents observed or reported.

I acted as the county Coordinator. The three percent analysis resulted in no discrepancies, so the rest of the county was completed by machine.
