I would like to request the cast vote records for the 2020 election. Below is what I need:
Pursuant to our state’s freedom of information law, please remit the Cast Vote Records from YOUR COUNTY from the 2020 General Election. These records should include the following fields as a minimum:
CVR Record # Timestamp Tabulator ID Municipality Precinct Batch ID Record ID Counting Group Session Type Ballot Type ID Paper Index Contest Candidate Undervotes Overvotes Mark Density
Please respond. Thank you for your time.
Where do i get these cast vote records?
Call and or email your county Board of Elections and ask or copy the list into an email. They have to give you this information
What do i do with this information when they give it?
What do i do when they say they have no idea what i am talking about?
Tell them the CVR is what you want - next - take it to your sheriff
On the moment of truth, they said you can cross reference it with the digital canvassing that apparently has been done for every county. I am still a bit confused on this part as well, but figured I would focus on getting the records first. After which, present it to your sheriff
The county board of elections should be able to supply them, make sure to request the fields in the op. I am about to call mine now as I don't see an email available
I am working on this now, is the voting jurisdiction just the name of your county? May be a stupid question but don't want to fuck this up
No a stupid question! Name of county should work
Fantastic thank you!
So they didn't have the email address online, so I called the county board of elections office. They were able to get me in touch with the person that handles the request. She then gave me the email address to send the request, hopefully that helps out!
Great! That is exactly what I had to do. Good job!
They already got back to me with the cvr, did you get yours?
Not yet! Good to know you got yours.
Yes, should it have the president rwce on it, do you know? I don't see it

Awesome thank you, I will cross reference it with what I have. Sorry to bug you about this, but I know very little when it comes to the elections!
No worries! Same here - I am learning as I go
Looking through it now, I also do not see the fields I requested. Wonder if they are trying to see what they can get away with.
Sent you an example of a real one. Here it is again. https://web.archive.org/web/20220822143848/https://secure25.securewebsession.com/elpasoelections.com/2020General/2020General_CVR_Public.xlsx
