As this is a request for multiple government records, I will address each
item as set forth in the order above.

1. The County has reviewed its files and has determined there are no
responsive government records to your request for "internal protocol to
secure and safeguard external storage or flash drive contents, inventory
logs and error reports". 
Currently, your request for "copies of purchase orders/invoicing of
related items associated with the election" fails to identify with
reasonable clarity the specific government records sought, as is required
by Bent v. Stafford Police Department, 381 N.J.Super. 30, 37 (App. Div. 
2005). At this time, we request clarification of your OPRA request. 
Please respond in writing and identify the specific government records
sought so that we may process your request. 
2. Currently, your request fails to identify with reasonable clarity the
