Hi Scott!

Big fan of your work (minus the racist stuff of course).

No election is perfect. And no election administrator would ever claim a perfect election.

But U.S. elections are actually designed to auditable; they must be reconciled; and they must be tested.

For example, while some countries allow digital voting (e.g. Brazil) or even internet voting (e.g. Estonia), the vast, vast majority of U.S. jurisdictions (93%) use paper ballots. This can put to rest any allegation of hacking. This can put to rest any allegation of "vote switching." This means there is an auditable paper trail that can be tested after the election.

And they ARE tested. In most jurisdictions, designees from the political parties work in bipartisan teams to hand-count audit the machine tabulated results. For example, in Maricopa County, the political parties hand counted approximately 47,000 votes from the November 2020 election, and they matched the machine count 100%. Georgia did multiple full recounts. Etc.

Ballot styles are also created such that they can be linked to a particular type of voter. This is why TV networks and data scientists are able to point out certain trends (e.g. that the suburbs shifted blue in 2020). Any "injection" of ballots would be easily identifiable.

This is just one type of thing that is reviewed in post-election reconciliations and audits before any jurisdictional canvass.

And, of course, all of this is subject to legal challenges -- where we determine fact and law in the United States.

I'm sure you're aware that were many, many legal challenges to the November 2020 election -- close to 100 by my last count. Many of these afforded evidentiary hearings. For a summary, see this report: https://t.co/bvQJgUlVtv. For anyone claiming significant error or fraud in the 2020 election, that person would have to explain why the courts got it wrong, every single time. Or why plaintiffs consistently demurred when asked for evidence in court.

I'm sure you're also aware that many independent analysts did post-election studies in an attempt to find material fraud or error. No professional examination found material fraud or error. Some of these were even commissioned by President Trump. Ken Block -- one of the experts hired by President Trump -- recently wrote about his findings: https://t.co/v57ccRZDbg

Regarding your comment that the design of "the system" is not an accident, I'm confused as to if you're purporting some sort of concerted scheme in our election design. As I'm sure you know, our election system is a highly federalized system, largely driven by state law -- e.g. how Florida does elections is different from how Pennsylvania does elections. And of course the 50 states are only the starting point. There are over 8,000 election jurisdictions in the United States. Are you suggesting that the state legislators and local administrators -- Republicans and Democrats -- schemed together? Or are you simply pointing out that we have a secret ballot ("Australian ballot") in the United States?

What are you referring to in your "missing" comment?

So while I suppose, "we can disagree on whether there is proof the 2020 election was rigged," that's like saying we can disagree that the Rangers beat the Diamondbacks in the last World Series. Sadly, the Rangers won.

If you're to take the "it was rigged" side, then you'd have to explain away every single court case, every single standard post-election audit, every single extra post-election audit, audits commissioned by President Trump, etc. And you'd have to put forward a scheme that spans multiple states, thousands of workers of different political parties, and across various voting systems. Not to mention, you'd have to do some fun explaining of why down ballot Republican candidates (including yours truly) won on the same election.

I'd love to walk you through the system. I'd love for you to have confidence in elections. If you're ever in the Phoenix-area, let me know, and I'll give you a tour.

My new favorite thing - Bing's new ChatGPT bot argues with a user, gaslights them about the current year being 2022, says their phone might have a virus, and says "You have not been a good user"

Why? Because the person asked where Avatar 2 is showing nearby
