Auditing yourself isnt transparency.
Michigan's risk-limiting audit was just completed. The results have been affirmed the results and the report will be made public shortly. And the audit was done with the assistance of an independent firm as well as election clerks of both parties.
Quote:The Bureau of Elections compiling a full report of the results, which will be published upon completion. Risk-limiting audits are considered the gold standard of post-election audits and provide an extra layer of security when partnered with the traditional audit methods already utilized by election officials. The Bureau of Elections and local clerks across the state began piloting the audits in 2018 and 2019, and also conducted a pilot of the 2020 presidential primary. The process was conducted with the assistance of VotingWorks, a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization. It also drew upon the advice of the Election Security Advisory Commission and an audit task force composed of election clerks.
Maricopa County, AZ is currently conducting a forensic audit and is using two independent firms. Results are expected in March.
Does MI have a good explanation for the hundreds of thousands of ballots dropped on election night that went almost all for Biden?
Yeah moron...it's called votes from heavily democratic counties...big counties...that in every election since the dawn of time always come in later than smaller counties. And it happens in every state.
Here comes the DNC drone to try to shut down any discussion of voter fraud.
WTF are you talking about? And show me actual voter fraud and I'll gladly discuss any of it. Instead, the right just lies and makes **** up. You just to decry that stuff.

Which provides perfect cover to say, "Hmm, how many votes do we need?" and throw in a few thousand extras.
nd just cover up the windows so nobody can see what you're doing, and all's good. Or, if needed, schedule a fake toilet leak and kick everybody out except for the friendlies.
And as expected, the audits conducted by Maricopa County by two INDEPENDENT firms find that that the election equipment was sound.
Quote:The results of Maricopa County's independent audit of 2020 election results are in.
The verdict: The election was sound.
Maricopa County on Tuesday released the results of election audits from two independent auditors it hired to verify that voting machines were not hacked, were not connected to the internet and counted votes properly during the 2020 general election.
The auditors found that the county used certified equipment and software, no malicious hardware was found on voting machines, the machines were not connected to the internet, and the machines were programmed to tabulate ballots accurately, according to a letter from county election directors to the supervisors.
Quote:The supervisors hired the two outside firms, Pro V&V and SLI Compliance, to offer an independent look at the county's voting machines and election results.
Here is what the county-hired auditors examined and found in the two weeks they spent in Phoenix earlier this month:
Pro V&V performed another logic and accuracy test on the tabulation machines to see that the “system correctly captures, stores, consolidates, and reports the specific ballot selections, and absence of selections, for each ballot position."Pro V&V found no issues.
Both firms checked to see if the county is using certified hardware and software.The auditors inspected and verified the software and said it was certified.
The firms examined what's called “hash values” — the code that dictates how the machine functions — to see if they were the same as when the machines were certified. If the hash code is different, that may indicate tampering. No hash value discrepancies were noted.
The auditors also checked that hackers didn’t install any software or hardware onto the machines by running malware tests and opening up the machines. They also conducted a network analysis to “ensure the network is a ‘closed network’ and can’t reach the internet.” No malicious hardware and software discrepancies were identified, and the firms did not see any proof of internet connectivity.
The auditors examined all nine of the large tabulators that count ballots at the election center, a random selection of 20% of the county’s precinct-based tabulators and a random selection of 40% of the county’s adjudication stations. No issues were found with the machines.
Quote:SLI Compliance was much more thorough in the way it reported results, compared with Pro V&V. SLI Compliance called its audit a "forensic audit," while Pro V&V said its audit was a "field audit."
SLI Compliance's 18-page report shows every step that the auditors took, including a timeline of what was done each day.
SLI Compliance gave details on how it checked to see whether any connection was made to the internet on the machines from July 6 to Nov. 20.
This is key because some claimed that this could have been how votes could have been switched after the election — although previous audits had found no proof of vote switching.
This included checking whether there were any instances of the systems being connected to an internet-routed network, including manually inspecting system data, files, logs and settings.
One test found one log entry of a connection attempt on Aug. 26 — someone had attempted to search for how to adjust screen brightness. But the auditors did not find any evidence that the machine successfully connected to the internet, this time or any other time.
SLI Compliance also listed five malware programs, including a digital forensic tool, it ran to check whether malicious software had been installed — in other words, whether the machines had been hacked. The team also manually checked for any malware programs on the machines.
As I've said all along, they're barking up the wrong tree. They may or may not find anything with recounts and voting machines, but the real problems lie with the relaxing of verification standard because of "COVID" (not really, but because that was the way that democrats could win, but it made a nice excuse).
Trump turned the home state of Barry Goldwater purple, if not blue, at least temporarily, with his attacks on John McCain. And Mitch turned Georgia purple, if not blue, at least temporarily. Actually, republicans turned several states blue by being asleep at the wheel when voting controls were being lifted. Restoring their positions in AZ and GA need to be a top priority for republicans.

Did you read the story. There's next to no other firms qualified to do such an audit. The Senate would have a hard time finding anyone else to conduct it outside of these two firms.
And what would be the point? These firms don't work for anyone but themselves. Why would they both fabricate results?
Give it up...there still has to date not been one proven vote changed by a dominion machine in an election. Not. One.

This wasn't a fly by night audit conducted by a team of "experts" who can't tell the difference between MI and MN and have no voting systems experience. We have already seen one of those from the "election fraud" crew.

You want this over? Let the Senate do their own audit.
I worked in gaming for years. All our software had to be lab certified before it went out the door. I know about software auditing, and I also know about the skill levels of the people who do it. Sometimes they are highly skilled people, and sometimes they are simply running a check list.
Another audit hurts nothing. The more eyeballs involved the better.

Really.
If the Senate wants to do an audit and finds nothing, that increases voter confidence.
