I think one of the upcoming odd elections will have shenanigans. The people who run the vote counting systems will have a field day.
One Georgia runoff race in January was forced to be a single vote past the margin for requiring a recount. No matter how many votes Fulton County ran through, the count would not deviate from that ratio. To be clear: Fulton County was running batches almost 100% for the (D) candidate, and the system was coming back with whatever got the overall race back to 50.25% plus one vote. Only a few days later did manual counts widen the margin a little bit past that.
These audits are totally worthless since they just recount the votes cast, be they fraudulent or not. This is a pathetic attempt to give the election credibility.
