Well there were SOME audits, of varying quality, in SOME places; as well as three recounts, of near-zero quality, in three states. The problem is there is no SYSTEMIC verification process, so we have to chase the election circus around with a forensic pooper-scooper. Absurd. 1/
Votes should be CAST in private and COUNTED in public - observably. It's really that simple. Instead, our computerized voting and counting system is DESIGNED FOR CONCEALMENT. 2/
Not only does it issue a gilded invitation to targeted systemic fraud, but it makes any verification process as difficult, cumbersome, gameable, and unreliable as possible. Recounts are made prohibitively expensive - for candidates who have spent all their campaign $$... 3/
Audits are not uniform, timely, or rigorous and can be and have been compromised in a variety of ways. Evidence of disparities and anomalies - no matter how probative - is dismissed with a shrug and often a sneer as "conspiracy theory." 4/
And the votecounts are accorded PRESUMPTIVE validity when there is no reason - given the obvious vulnerabilities to fraud, the enormous stakes of the game, and the ethics of our time - to do so. 5/
Candidates, especially Democrats, concede prematurely. And in the rare cases where forensic examination is closing in on proof of fraud, evidence is destroyed (servers wiped clean [degaussed], ballots shredded, key witnesses eliminated [e.g., Mike Connell]. 6/
No forensic examination of the "hard" evidence (memory cards, code, ballots) has ever been undertaken, as DHS acknowledged re. E2016. This is no way to run an airline. And it is no surprise that our nation is veering off the road and over a cliff. 7/
If our democracy dies it will be because we couldn't be bothered to care for its most basic protocol. 8/8
