F the "I-voted" stickers. I don't even see risk limiting audits that were supposed to be done

26. While interesting, I wouldn't take one paper's results as universal gospel.

That amounts to finding one study that confirms your preconceived notions and running with it as ultimate truth. Good luck with that.

Have the author's design and results been replicated? There are procedures and statistical methods that make hand counts far more accurate than what was performed by inexperienced undergrad students in this study. I don't see much mention of that. So, we're left with only their experimental design which may be flawed and certainly doesn't account for all best practice methods and procedures used to ensure accurate hand counts...the world over. Oh! But a caveat that older, experienced election works are older and more experienced...but then again....old....thus prone to more errors than young whipper snappers...who aren't....old.
