Meet the man who has cast 600,000 Arizona votes, Ken Matta

Ken Matta has cast more than a half-million votes for candidates in Arizona elections.
He keeps his stats, which date to 2002, on his cellphone. Twenty-one elections, 600,000 individual votes for candidates, 121,000 ballots cast. Matta is not voting illegally or assuming the identities of dead people to cast ballots. He is in charge of statewide logic-and-accuracy testing, which is conducted twice on a sample of voting machines before each primary and general election to ensure the votes that are cast are the ones that are counted. The latest test was his 468th in Arizona. The testing of voting machines that are accessible to people with disabilities comes in the two weeks before early voting starts, or about a month before the primary or general elections. Then, the optical scanners that read hand-marked ballots are tested two weeks from Election Day. The latest testing concluded Oct. 28.

The logic-and-accuracy tests are done to make sure votes cast in voting machines or read from a ballot by an optical scanner are accurately recorded. The tests also ensure that candidates are listed in the right races and that voters can vote for the proper number of candidates in each race. The Secretary of State's Office preselects different voting outcomes that are entered into the machines in each county. The tests ensure that votes entered into election machines or recorded by optical scanners match the test scenarios. In Maricopa County, 1,200 ballots that had been marked in specific ways were entered into optical scanners to ensure their accuracy in tabulating results. Errors happen. But it's usually a case of election testers not entering votes into the machine correctly rather an an error with the equipment itself, Matta said. "I've been surprised over the years," he said. "It always leads back to a human problem."
The Secretary of State's Office tests a "representative sample" of machines and scanners in each county. That is in addition to testing by county recorders and elections officials. Maricopa County tests every single election machine before Election Day. Matta said the logic-and-accuracy testing can sometimes find problems with audio files for accessible machines or small errors with uploading voting results from the election system. Matta said he did not see any issues in Cochise or Yavapai counties during logic-and-accuracy testing for the August primary. But Cochise County uploaded erroneous data to the Secretary of State's Office that had to be revised, while Yavapai County didn't upload the county's data until the morning after the election. Matta doesn't envision either county having problems in today's general election.
Andrew Warianka, one of the Democratic Party's official testing observers, said his role is nonpartisan, ensuring that the votes cast match those counted. "It has a value to the public. It's maintaining the integrity of the election," Warianka said. "I enjoy doing it." Maricopa County Republican Party Chairman A.J. LaFaro witnessed the tests for the first time this year and said the public can be assured that the process is 100 percent secure once their ballots get to the county to be tabulated. It's one thing Democrats and Republicans can agree on, LaFaro said. He said he has learned a great deal about how the process works from theDemocratic observers.
The testing proves Republicans and Democrats "absolutely can get along," he said. "It's a nonpartisan process."
