Why This Matters
🗳️ Vote Counting Accuracy: If voting machines miscounted ballots in Rockland County, similar errors could have affected your local elections without anyone detecting the problems
Voting system reliability affects democratic legitimacy while technical failures could alter election outcomes without public awareness.
📊 Statistical Impossibility: University research shows a -9% "drop-off" rate for Harris is statistically highly unlikely, suggesting systematic problems rather than voter preferences
Academic analysis reveals anomalies that indicate technical problems while statistical evidence challenges certified election results.
⚖️ Legal Precedent: This lawsuit could establish whether voters can demand hand recounts when statistical evidence suggests machine counting errors
Judicial decisions determine voter rights while establishing procedures for challenging questionable election results through evidence-based litigation.
💻 Voting Machine Reliability: The same ES&S voting equipment used in Rockland County operates in 40% of U.S. jurisdictions, potentially affecting your vote's accuracy nationwide
Widespread use of potentially flawed technology affects election integrity while technical problems could systematically alter democratic outcomes.
📋 Election Certification Process: Courts can order recounts even after results are certified, meaning election outcomes you thought were final may still be legally challengeable
Legal procedures provide recourse for questionable elections while certification doesn't prevent judicial review of statistical anomalies.
