Princeton Researchers Accuse NJ Election Officials of Cover-Up Fraud

wow is right (0.00 / 0)

We know of many cases of deliberate, organized fraud in primaries with absentee ballots so that's a real possibility.

On the other hand, it seems like it's possible that:

1. The ballot entries were swapped by human error. You'd just have to write down (type) a number wrong.
2. The required tests were (I'd guess) not performed and/or the technicians were so sloppy they didn't notice the test was bad.
3. The logs were deleted, possibly for the reason the technician said. I do try deleting log files on my computer from time to time to try to get it to run less slowly.

Even if this is the case, the problem then is that hundreds of groups of what amount to amateurs running a few elections a year are likely to screw up. Counting ballots by hand in a group may, with witnesses, may be a better procedure for humans. I don't know.
