San Mateo County Random Selection and Tally

I've been involved in a lengthy project to create procedures that any California County can use to do their 1% Manual Tally (as prescribed by CA Election Code §15360). In the process, I've observed the selection and manual tally in a few California counties and have taken some photos and video.

Here are some photos and video from Marin, Alameda and San Mateo County's random selection and manual tally.

Warning: These images and videos will probably be abysmally boring unless you both appreciate elections and are really interested in the intricacies of election procedure.
