So these audits are what we call "performative" or "security theater."
They are done to give people the impression that the results are being audited and checked, but they have very little ability to actually check that the results are accurate.
#Audits #Midterms #Voting #Elections2026
Additionally, each county is only auditing 2 precincts.
In a large county like Mecklenburg, with a population of over 1 Million people - even if there is fraud, it's unlikely they will detect it by auditing 2 precincts.
. No House races will be audited. No local races. So everyone knows there is no audit of the down ballot races. That's an incentive to fraud. It's known in which races the count will not be checked.
They are throwing 10-sided dice to determine what ballots to audit.
That seems good, the ballots are chosen randomly.
But think about this:
Only 1 race will be audited & which race is known ahead of time. It's always the top race on the ballot. In this election they'll audit the U.S. Senate Race.
In our #CountTheVote program we've been observing elections & audits in Arkansas, North Carolina and Texas & we've learned a lot.
Look at this example of the random draw to decide what ballots will be audited in North Carolina.

You'd be surprised how many races are won by just one or a few votes!! Especially in local races. Right now Mississippi are choosing their representatives for the House & the Senate. It's an open primary - you can choose a Dem or a Rep ballot. Go Vote!
