Johnson’s turnout list, the state’s record

Johnson County’s own list of who has voted, set voter by voter against the Secretary of State’s public early-voting record, every download of October 20, 2026.

This is not an allegation against any voter.

Headline 1

The state listed 22 Johnson voters as voting before the polls opened, then moved their votes to Monday. C0153

Johnson voters listed in person on Sunday October 18, 2026 C0153

Mon Oct 19

first day to vote early in person, by the Secretary of State’s own calendar C0153

At 9:18 AM and 1:20 PM on October 20, 2026, the state’s list showed the 22 voting in person on Sunday, and showed the same 22 on Monday as well. Its count page counted them as Sunday votes. By 5:19 PM the state’s list and count page showed the same 22 voting on Monday instead. At 9:21 PM the state’s list for Johnson County alone still showed them on Sunday. The state says it “does not alter or modify the data provided in any way.” In one day its record gave the same 22 voters two different voting dates. C0153 C0154 C0155

Not one of the county’s 311 mail voters is on the state’s roster, and neither of the state’s 2 is on the county’s list. In person, the state’s end-of-day roster drops 1 voter the county lists and adds 1 it does not. Each side says its figures come from the other. C0157 C0158

Headline 1, explained

22 voters listed on a Sunday, then moved to Monday C0153

The Secretary of State’s own election calendar gives Monday October 19, 2026 as the first day to vote early in person. In two of its downloads on October 20, the state’s roster listed 22 Johnson voters in person on Sunday October 18, 2026, and every one of them on Monday too. C0153

The state publishes two things: a list of every voter who has voted, filed by the day they voted, and a count page with one number per county per day. Each row below is one download of both, all on October 20, 2026.

Time we downloaded the state’s record, October 20, 2026	Voters the state’s list shows voting in person Sunday	Voters the state’s list shows voting in person Monday	Same voters shown on both days	In-person votes the state’s count page shows for Sunday	Claim
1:16 AM	0	104	0	0	C0153 C0154
5:20 AM	0	104	0	0	C0153 C0154
9:18 AM	22	5,857	22	22	C0153 C0154
1:20 PM	22	5,857	22	22	C0153 C0154
5:19 PM	0	5,857	0	0	C0153 C0154
9:15 PM	0	5,857	0	0	C0153 C0154

Added across the state’s daily files, the two highlighted downloads give 5,879 in-person entries for 5,857 voters. The state’s summary page in the same downloads counted them once, as Sunday votes. C0154

From 5:19 PM the state’s list shows none of the 22 on Sunday and all 22 on Monday, and its count page shows 0 in-person votes on Sunday. C0153 C0154

The state’s roster for Johnson County alone, downloaded 9:21 PM, still lists 22 in-person voters on that Sunday; the statewide roster of the same hour lists 0 of them before Monday. C0155

How can the county pull from the state, and the state pull from the county?
Where is the source of truth?

Mail: four records of the same county

State roster for Johnson County alone, on the one date it answered C01560

Not one voter is on both the county’s mail list and the state’s. None of the county’s 311 is on the state’s statewide roster under any county, by mail or in person; the state’s 2 are not on the county’s list. C0157
The state’s statewide roster carries the same 2 mail voters on each of its 6 daily files, Wednesday October 14, 2026 to Monday October 19, 2026. Its roster for Johnson County alone answered with a file for Sunday October 18, 2026 only, and lists 0 mail voters there, where the statewide roster lists 2. For Wednesday October 14, 2026 (HTTP 502), Friday October 16, 2026 (HTTP 502), Monday October 19, 2026 (HTTP 502) the state’s server answered with an error. C0156

InferenceThe county says its list is pulled from the state’s website. The state’s website lists none of the county’s 311 mail voters. The county’s mail list was not pulled from the state’s public roster. C0157

In person: the state’s record matched the county’s, then the state’s record changed

At 5:19 PM the state’s statewide roster named exactly the 5,857 in-person voters on the county’s list. By 9:15 PM it had dropped 1 voter the county lists as having voted in person, and added 1 the county does not list. C0158

In person	Voters	Claim
On the county’s list and the state’s statewide roster	5,856	C0158
Only on the county’s list	1	C0158
Only on the state’s statewide roster	1	C0158
Sunday in-person voters: state’s Johnson County roster / its statewide roster, same hour	22 / 0	C0158
Voter numbers read that are not a 10-digit state voter ID, all three lists	0 / 0 / 0	C0159

None of this is for want of a usable voter number. C0159

InferenceThe state’s page says: “The Office of the Secretary of State does not alter or modify the data provided in any way.” At 5:19 PM the state’s record matched the county’s list voter for voter. The county’s list, downloaded at 7:17 PM, between the two state downloads, still matches that 5:19 PM record. By 9:15 PM the state’s record no longer matched it. The state’s record changed, and the change is not in the county’s list. C0158 C0160

Conclusion

1. The Secretary of State’s system is behind the county.

Johnson’s list carries 311 mail voters. The state’s statewide roster carries 2, the same 2 on each of its 6 daily files from Wednesday October 14 to Monday October 19, 2026. Its roster for Johnson County alone carries 0. C0157 C0156

2. The Secretary of State’s system lists voters the county does not.

Neither of the state’s 2 mail voters is on the county’s list. C0157 By 9:15 PM the state’s statewide roster listed 1 in-person voter the county does not list. C0158 In two downloads it listed 22 voters in person on a Sunday its own calendar gives no early voting in person; at 9:21 PM its roster for Johnson County alone still listed them, while its statewide roster of the same hour did not. C0153 C0155

3. Then where is the state getting its data?

The state says its information is provided by county officials and that it does not alter it in any way. The county says its list is pulled from the state’s website. Yet the state names 3 Johnson voters the county’s list does not: 2 by mail and 1 in person. C0157 C0158 Those voters did not come from the county’s list. The state’s record is not a copy of the county’s, and the county’s list is not a copy of the state’s: none of its 311 mail voters is on the state’s website. C0157 Neither side’s account of where the data comes from fits the data.

If a system cannot tell us who voted, how can we trust that system to give us a count of who voted?

Limits

One posting of the county’s list. Every county figure is from the list linked as “10-19-26”, stored October 20 at 7:17 PM. The county posts a new list each day; a later list is a different question. C0160
One day of the state’s record. Every state figure is from the downloads of October 20, 1:16 AM to 9:15 PM, 6 in all; end-of-day figures are from 9:15 PM. A later download is a different question. C0153
The county’s list does not say what MAIL-IN means. It gives no date for any row and does not say whether a MAIL-IN row is a ballot received back or a ballot sent. The state’s roster and summary page count mail votes.
Voters are not named. The voter-level lists behind these figures are held separately and are not published.
