It’s because most of us work for a living.
'The State Board of Canvassers certified the election results on Nov. 26. Kobach said the records were sealed five days later in accordance with the law.'
Lets see someone sue the election officials in Pennsylvania and Philly for the districts that have 100%+ returns for the Democrats, eh?

there is no reason we don’t have secure, verifiable, voting.
think bitcoins and block chains.
you only get a ballot, given by an approved person, if you present the proper id. once received, you can cast the votes as if you were spending bitcoins.
done this way, no votes could be added and any invalid ballots (given to dead people for instance) could be invalidated and pulled from the lot.
additionally, you would get a paper receipt... allowing you to verify if the votes from your ballot were counted. the entire block chain, and list of ballots given out, would be visible to the public. this would allow independent people to verify the person receiving the ballot was eligible to vote and if not, report the ballot for review. if the review proved the ballot was invalid, the votes could be removed properly.
everyone who cast a vote could prove their vote was counted and part of the tally.
The most significant trend, in the last twenty years, is the increasing number of people who are telling pollsters to go to hell.
Which is a group that is disproportionately conservative.
Gee, too bad she didn’t look at Al Franken’s razor thin victory over Norm Coleman in Franken’s first Senate term. With election results showing a virtual even race in the majority of precincts, ballot boxes just appeared with100% Franken’s votes.
In primaries, the favored candidate appears to always be the Republican establishment candidate, above a tea party challenger.
The true anomaly is in the inner city voting. Fix that and then compare...
Yeah, that appears to be her concern.
So she is concerned about the number of republican voters ? Wonder if she is as concerned with all of the dead democrat voters?
Somehow i doubt it........
She should check out some areas in Philadelphia that get greater than 90% of the population voting dem.
With her credentials, if this were truly a "personal quest to find the answer" she would have no trouble at all gathering a group of esteemed peers for the purposes of a study.
It seems more likely she is motivated, in what must be a very time-consuming personal effort, not to seek an answer but to force some sort of outcome. Perhaps something along the line of some judicial order handicapping Republicans by 5% or some such.

With Bitcoins the miners maintain the integrity of the system. A massive undertaking paid for with Bitcoin inflation.
Who would verify the election results?
A sample perhaps, the complete chain?
“think bitcoins”
Would you have to mine your bitcoin before you vote?
Cities vote for bigger gov, rural areas vote for smaller gov. Areas with lower population density naturally have a larger precinct size, and increasingly vote Republican. Precincts in the cities are small in size but have more voters. If she compares voting behavior to precinct population density rather than geographic size she will find a uniform correlation.
Some time ago, I posted a graphic that depicted the counties in the US that were Republican-controlled. The map, which unfortunately was coded with red color, was overwhelmingly red.
So it is not surprising to me that in serious elections Republicans seem to appear in numbers far beyond what the polls and talking heads predict or can even imagine. There just isn't that percentage of Republicans in their universe.
P.S. Kris Kobach is a straight-shooter and very capable litigator. His response will be interesting.
