The gold standards for auditing are published by the Government Accountability Office. The New York state Board of Elections’ audit protocol does not even come close to meeting those standards. A proper audit would involve multiple observers watching ballots being projected on a wall or screen and keeping track of the votes on hand-held clickers. Such counts are accurate and reproducible.
Professional auditors would throw up their hands at the audit show we received. We walked out, seeing the futility of our efforts. Indeed, the auditors themselves, the staff of the Rensselaer County Board of Elections and the commissioners, Jason Schofield and Edward G. McDonough, should have walked out too, unable as they were to complete their duty, to confirm the truth and accuracy of the vote count.
