Why Are Virginia Democrats Working So Hard To Prevent Election Audits?

DANIEL BRUBAKER  |  APRIL 05, 2024


Virginia 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.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

As they must! Elsewise they would have been consigned to the dustbin of history years ago.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

A audit would help differentiate dead voters from the living voters. The dead are a major constituency of the Democratic Party and it would be unfair to disenfranchise their voting rights
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

I now have some direct proof of this in NY.
