The results were then compared to a hand tally. While accuracy is a hot topic during this election season, the division said they run these tests before every election.

"We don't just throw paper through our tabulators and cross our fingers and hope for the best. We're really making sure that every vote is counted timely and most importantly accurately," said Denver Election Division operations manager Jimmy Flanagan.
