Missing Zero-Report, Tally, and Open-Poll Tapes (PA)

Delaware County’s RTKL response disclosed the following missing records: 125 of 428 tally tapes for Scanner 1; 137 of 428 ballot-count tapes; 255 of 428 open-poll tapes; and 233 of 428 zero-report tapes. Zero-report tapes are machine-generated records proving machines registered zero votes before polls opened. Their absence means there is no documentary basis to establish machines were not pre-loaded with votes before Election Day.
