Amends the Election Code. Provides that, in jurisdictions where in-precinct counting equipment is used, the election authority shall retabulate the total number of votes cast on 5% of the election day equipment used within the election jurisdiction (rather than votes cast in 5% of precincts within the election jurisdiction). Provides that the precincts and voting devices to be retabulated shall be selected after election day on a random basis by the State Board of Elections so that every device used in early voting and all equipment used on election day in the election jurisdiction has an equal mathematical chance of being selected (rather than providing that every precinct and every device used in early voting shall have an equal mathematical chance of being selected for retabulated).
