isn't met by the random 2%, then the 2% is increased randomly until at least one precinct in each county has been selected.
In fact...one could calculate the odds that in a state with X counties and Y precincts, there would have to be more than 2% of precincts to get one in each county.
It could be the audit that's actually conducted will always be larger than 2%. This could be a clever way of achieving a larger audit without coming out and saying it in the bill. Just a hypothesis of course. You'd have to run the numbers. Probably another hypergeometric distribution!
