In December of 2021, Nevada County, CA resident Amy Young submitted an open records request to her local elections office requesting the following records: digital ballot images, audit logs, tabulator tapes, and the cast vote records. After repeated denials from county officials, Young took her grievances to her county’s Board of Supervisors as a last resort: The Board of Supervisors was either uninterested in Young’s request or were moving too slowly. So, on August 17, 2022, just two months after addressing her Board of Supervisors but only one week before the election records could lawfully be destroyed, Young filed a petition for a writ of mandamus and requested an injunction to preserve the in-question records. The county finally turned over the cast vote records that had been requested but was still refusing to hand over the other records. Despite San Francisco County publicly posting many of these records, Nevada County officials claimed these records were exempt from the Public Records Act despite not having any identifiable information on them.
