Why Are Virginia Democrats Working So Hard To Prevent Election Audits?
DANIEL BRUBAKER | APRIL 05, 2024Virginia Democrats have inserted an amendment to the Virginia budget that would forbid even the most basic audit of the 2024 election.
The budget amendment reads, “
[A] risk-limiting audit of a presidential election or an election for the nomination of candidates for the office of president shall not be conducted.”
The risk-limiting audit (RLA) is a process designed to confirm that the machine count of ballot results matches the physical ballots that have been preserved. The RLA process begins with a relatively small number of randomly selected ballots and expands its scope until statistical near-certainty that the machines have accurately reported the paper ballot results has been reached. . .

It would be priceless to see Trump win leading by less than a thousand votes after election day, and Democrats be legally barred from requesting a recount.
