More: The original indictment—the one the grand jury did see and vote on—was also handed up in open court along with the second indictment.
But, as noted, the document was marked as though the grand jury had returned a no bill as to the entire indictment, not just Count 1.

4. But that second indictment was never presented to or voted on by the grand jury
Instead, the foreperson and Halligan signed it, and it was handed up in open court.
The result is that the operative indictment in the Comey case is one that the grand jury did not actually vote on.
