In reply to the discussion: Letter from cybersecurity experts about hand counting and 2024 election anomalies [View all]Jarqui
(10,506 posts)What I had advocated was just that: the campaigns look for signs in their own data or exit polls of where they should look closer.
You spot audit during lower level candidate recounts.
You have folks follow up on the mail-in or provisional ballot.
You review the letter to Shapiro or Harris documenting concerns.
You might ask election/voting experts like Greg Palast their thoughts.
You review that, get your 'clues' and check into those. Many of the battleground states had Dem Governors and Sec of State - they could do some of the checking.
If someone played with machine count software, how would we know if they don't do a hand recount?
To presume "it's all ok, we don't have to look" with someone who was in a desperate situation and crooked like Trump, I think that is pretty shaky.
There is absolutely no harm in that kind of checking. In an ideal world, they find nothing wrong.
But they've done some due diligence to verify and make sure nothing sinister happened.
