On Friday, the three-person canvassing board — on which Snipes usually sits — found about 20 of those 205 votes had mismatched signatures and declared them illegal. That means there are at least 20 illegal votes mixed into an anonymous pile of 205, all sitting in a machine that counted them but did not add them to the final count.

“The ballots cannot be identified,” Snipes confirmed when a lawyer for the Republican Party asked.

According to the petition, the duplicate ballots that Circuit Judge Krista Marx ordered Bucher to retrieve and present to the canvassing board before 10 a.m. Saturday have "already been intermixed into the stream of ballots and are already included in the vote tally."
