Answer 1

In a general election, each state has officials who count and certify votes. After polling places close, all voted ballots are sealed, secured and transported to be tabulated (by officials). Counting votes does not end on Election Night, there are thousands of ballots that need to be counted, including provisional ballots and damaged ballots. A sample of ballots from every election must be manually tallied to verify election machine counts. There is a process in which each vote is counted/verified, then officially certified, first by the local counties and then by the secretary of state/state board of elections.

General elections (include the presidential election) are elections held at a city, a county or a state that involve competition between at least two parties.

Answer 2

In a general election, each state has officials who count and certify votes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each state has officials called tellers to count and certify the votes. A teller is a person who counts the votes in general elections. They are also named as scrutineers, poll-watchers, challengers or checkers. Later, the county persuasion board sends the certified vote totals for these elections to a state persuasion board, and therefore the state board certifies the elections. After the general election, the Governor of each State prepares seven original Certificates of Ascertainment listing the persons appointed as Electors.
