We have been saying that a sufficient audit would cost $0.20 to $0.50 per ballot cast. Now we have an example in Connecticut demonstrating that at least for one town, ballots cost $0.40 each to print. Given that extra ballots must be printed, it is clear that counting the paper is less costly than printing it in the 1st place. Just one more reason to sign the petition and change the law: Democracy is Priceless – Audits are a bargain.
