Statement Regarding Johnson County, Kansas Primary Election Results

OMAHA, Neb. (August 8, 2018)

The secure tabulated results for the Johnson County August 7 Primary Election were physically transported to
the Election office in a timely manner at the close of polls. The delay in reporting results was due to slow
processing of the election media on encrypted thumb drives. Despite slower than normal processing, the
reporting is now complete, and the accuracy of the results was never in question.
Johnson County followed proper procedures in conducting their election. ES&S takes accountability for and
apologizes for the slower than normal upload of results. The ES&S development team is working around the
clock, performing a forensic analysis, to identify the root cause of the slow results reporting. ES&S is
committed to expeditiously providing a solution.
