New election ordered in NC 9 House race amid credible claims of absentee ballot fraud. Unsure if this also means new primaries (I believe it does). Election do-overs are an EXTREMELY rare remedy. nyti.ms/2GDDU4f?smid=n…
NC9 is like a master class in election worst case scenarios.
While this particular fraud had little to do with voting tech per se, the chaos and general awfulness of resorting to a second election is why reliable audit trails in elections are so important and why experts recommend against paperless voting machines & internet voting.
Paperless voting technologies (as well as unsupervised voting such as absentee ballots) make it much more likely that an irregularity will make it impossible to discover the true result and require another election.
Put another way, it’s not sufficient to merely detect election irregularities. You also need to be able to recover from them without resorting to a new election.
