+Finally, when the verifier was run initially immediately after the tally ceremony on November 5, a data error was discovered around the extended base hash, causing the MITRE 1.I verification (1.H in the 2.0 Specification) to fail. The error was due to an already-addressed issue regarding equation formulation, yet the desired approach was implemented differently in the verifier versus the production code. Since the core ElectionGuard code could not be updated (due to the code freeze cited above), the verifier was modified to interpret the extended base hash correctly and the election was fully verified according to the precepts agreed to above.
