To me the saddest thing about today is that nearly all the findings presented were more about ignorance on how elections and election systems work.
There is a lot of work to do in this space to educate people.
I don't even have a problem on its face with a voter analysis using something like Melissa data. But it needs to be done with the centralized system that includes date of birth and other data that would provide a harder match.
Then you wouldn't run into the problem that they're having of analyzing different files from different counties that were processed at different times.
.@abc15 obtained what is purported to be a draft copy of the #azaudit report from multiple independent sources.
The draft finds that the forensic hand count was not substantially different than the official results. abc15.com/news/region-ph…
@abc15 The draft report alleges multiple inconsistencies in Maricopa county's voter registration were found when the files were bounced off of commercial data warehouses.
It also lists multiple areas in which election logs and data were removed from the EMS server prior to the start of the audit. The county maintains that the equipment was handed off with no changes made.
*all numbers are estimates using GIS union algorithm.
Ballot styles are what we refer to the different versions of the ballot. Every ballot has multiple races on it with different contests for different areas.
Maricopa would have 1 ballot style without cds, lds, cities, schools, etc...
At this point printing bamboo ballots would be pretty simple. Since everyone gets one ballot you can just load up on one style. Let's add congress.
