I don't know but it sounds like this case is going to discovery which I'm sure will eventually include hand recounts.If there was an issue in Rockland, I hope it gets addressed - especially if it impacted the outcome for their local elections.
Is there any evidence that this alleged inaccuracy/issue was any more widespread than one county in NY?
I’ve seen the reporting on the story. I’d have to see a lot more evidence proving that the update resulted in disparity between the votes cast vs. the votes counted.I don't know but it sounds like this case is going to discovery which I'm sure will eventually include hand recounts.
It also interests me that the accredited company, that takes care of 40% of all counties in the United States, said they were doing a minor update on voting machines when it turns out it was a major update.
According to law, minor updates and major updates are done completely different. And I think overseen differently.
So during discovery and during this trial if they find that this software company broke the law that means that lawsuits could potentially be brought in 40% of all counties in the United States. By those voters.
I think the compelling evidence (at least to the judge and the group who has standing who brought this lawsuit) is some of the stuff in the OP. For example...I’ve seen the reporting on the story.

I work on the ground in just about every election at my local democratic HQ. I’m heading out here again this morning to go to HQ because it’s primary day in NJ, in fact.
We get essentially hourly reports as to voter turnout….down to the NAMES and addresses of who voted that hour. It’s how we know who still needs to be chased. (That’s where I come in - I call voters and try to get their butts to the polls)
Our numbers guy can project, typically within a very slim margin of error, as to what the official election results will be based on who voted and turnout.
I’d have to see some really compelling evidence to believe there was anything illegitimate going on.
As I said, I’m going to need to see some really compelling data.I think the compelling evidence (at least to the judge and the group who has standing who brought this lawsuit) is some of the stuff in the OP. For example...
"As stated in the complaint, more voters have sworn they voted for independent U.S. Senate candidate Diane Sare than the Rockland County Board of Elections counted and certified, directly contradicting those results"
And of course the part where people overwhelmingly voted for Kirsten Gillibrand (D, Senator) in some districts and exactly ZERO of those voters voted for Kamala Harris.
I believe that's why the judge is letting this proceed and I'm very interested what is discovered.
And remember, all they have to do is find some votes that weren't counted (due to software) and then that brings up all kinds of lawsuits.
I also still find two comments by Trump and Elon fascinating. The one where Trump said (before the election) that he had all the votes he needed and the one where Elon said anything can be hacked.
Yeah, I agree.As I said, I’m going to need to see some really compelling data.
I’ve read about maybe a dozen voters and affadavits.
The data and evidence is going to have to show WAY more than that.
Yeah, I agree.
The graphs posted though (tons of votes for the Democratic Senator and none for Kamala) just seems totally out of whack to me.
Think about if that were the case for Trump/a Republican. Lots of votes for a Republican Senator and zero for Trump/Bush/Reagan/etc.
