Following the state's established random-selection procedure, three precincts will undergo a full hand recount: McLeansville Baptist Church in Guilford County, Oak Ridge Town Hall in Guilford County, and Monroeton in Rockingham County.
Election officials emphasized transparency throughout the selection process, which took roughly three minutes.
Officials used ten 10-sided dice to generate a 10-digit seed number. That number was entered into software that randomly identified one Rockingham County site and two Guilford County sites. Those sites will now undergo a hand recount conducted by a bipartisan elections team.
Recounts begin Tuesday morning
Rockingham County will begin its hand recount at 8:30 a.m. Tuesday at the Rockingham County Board of Elections office. Guilford County will begin at 9:30 a.m. at its elections office.
Officials expect all hand recounting to be completed by the end of the day.
