Background – The people on the ground in Windham, New Hampshire, are doing an excellent job holding the election officials and auditors accountable to the people during this forensic ballot audit. The audit started because the tabulating machines (Dominion hardware and software) did not accurately count the votes from the physical ballots.
During the first small audit it was discovered that Republican votes were undercounted and Democrat candidates were overcounted. This anomaly was discovered during a hand recount of the ballots as compared to the electronic tabulation results.
After the first set of electronic tabulation results were discovered to be inaccurate the state authorized a full forensic audit. The full audit is ongoing; yesterday it was reported the second hand recount matched the first, which means the machine tabulation of those ballots was wrong.
The auditors wondered if folded ballots generated the problem. The test of folded-vs-unfolded ballots (counted by same machine) showed a high number of errors. The rate of error was a whopping 60%. That could mean the tabulation machines across all of New Hampshire may have this problem.
Washington Examiner – As many as 60% of ballots with machine-made or handmade folds were improperly counted by the town’s four scanning machines, Harri Hursti, one of three auditors selected for the process, told the New Hampshire Union Leader on Monday. “The error rate was way higher than we expected,” Hursti said.
if someone voted for all four Republican candidates and the ballot happened to have its fold line going through St. Laurent’s target, then that might be interpreted by the machines as an overvote, which would then subtract votes from each of those four Republican candidates,” said Philip Stark, another member of the three-person audit team, according to a WMUR 9

Machines rejecting thousands of ballots or as the media calls it an honest election.
Certified chemical laboratories that analyze customers’ solid and aqueous samples for EPA-required reporting of chemical analyte concentrations must follow approved (usually standardized) methods. The lab’s certification (verified by an annual review) includes documenting training, calibration, analyses, instrument maintenance, administrative, data and IT security procedures and actions.
The process of holding an election should be no less rigorous in the use of independently-verified procedures and documentation covering training, equipment use and maintenance, ballot-processing, data-handling and storage, IT security, and administration.
Election officials who cannot readily supply documentation verifying these kinds of procedures are available and have been implemented should be suspended pending an independent investigation into their election process.
I hear you loud and clear...
“Raise your hand if you think that a county IT department adheres to these kinds of procedures!”
“Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?”
My mistake. Thanks for the correction...
And they do this with the help of a compliant and collaborative media.

And also with the help of compliant and collaborative REPUBLICANS!
“if someone voted for all four Republican candidates and the ballot happened to have its fold line going through St. Laurent’s target, then that might be interpreted by the machines as an overvote, which would then subtract votes from each of those four Republican candidates,”
Such a coincidence that ALL errors and oopsies worked against the GOP across all contested states.

I’m not buying that it was a mistake. I ran elections for a few years in a medium sized city. For months before an election our Data Processing Review Board ran test ballots through machines trying to anticipate every possible anomaly or issue. And THIS issues — folds in a certain place — would have been an easy one to consider, test, and fix.

It definitely was. :) I knew it was sarcasm. I was just adding to it.
Okay!
