Dear Ocean County Board of Elections,

This is a request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access. I am not required to fill out an official form. Please acknowledge receipt of this message.
Records requested:

I am requesting the following information from the BOARD OF ELECTIONS. This request is for information from the GENERAL ELECTION of Nov. 8, 2022:

1. I am requesting a text, comma, or tab delimited file, or a text-based report, listing, in the sequence processed by the county, every ballot, its sequential ID, its timestamp, its method of voting (for example: in-person, mail-in, provisional, absentee, "other", etc. – any ballots that were tabulated as part of the 2022 General Election), the specific votes contained for all races, and the batch ID and tabulator ID. Should any fields not be available, please include the fields which are. To be clear, I am NOT requesting a summary report of votes, I am requesting a per-ballot report. This set of information is sometimes known as a "Cast Vote Record" (CVR), "ballot log", or a "summary of ballots". If the data exists as multiple files or reports, for instance by batch or by precinct, you do not need to aggregate them, please send the individual files. I specifically do NOT want any information that identifies a specific voter, and I guarantee and stipulate that this information will not be used for that purpose.

A report of this type would have been created automatically during the tabulation process and will simply need to be EXPORTED from the Election Management System. Simply select choices for ALL records. I would prefer the report in an Excel or .csv file or JSON format, but if that is not possible, then any other format will be acceptable.

2. I am requesting scanned copies of all BALLOTS that were included in the tabulation of the final election results. This should include all batches, from all tabulators, in all precincts in the county.

3. I am requesting all ADJUDICATION LOGS from all precincts within the county.

4. I am requesting all SYSTEM LOGS (or SLOGS).

If possible, please provide all information via electronic communication. If necessary, I am happy to provide portable storage (such as USB stick) for copying any files that cannot be sent electronically. Since this request is for educational purposes only, and is not intended for commercial use, I am requesting all fees be waived.

Yours faithfully,
Lynne Lippincott
