"Some of the observed errors included:
- Caller called the wrong candidate and both watchers failed to notice the incorrect call;
- Tally markers tried to work out inconsistencies while tallying;
- Tally markers marked a vote for an incorrect candidate and the watchers failed to notice the error;
- Caller calling too fast resulted in double marking a candidate or missed marking a candidate;
- Caller missed calling a vote for a candidate and both watchers failed to notice the omission;
- Watchers not watching the process due to boredom or fatigue;
- Illegible tally marking caused incorrect tally totaling;
- Enunciation of names caused incorrect candidate tally; and
- Using incorrect precinct tally sheets to tally ballots resulted in incorrect precinct level results
