It's a pity that journalists (and a few self-interested politicians) distorted Halderman's points so dramatically. This stuff's never going to go away, now -- it'll be the foundation of wild conspiracy theories for decades.
- whybroke 10y agoMore damaging would be if it implicitly changes the message from 'audits should always be done' to 'we're doing it because there was monkey business'
- mzw_mzw 10y agoIt already has. Which is doubly unfortunate since there is no evidence whatsoever of monkey business anyway.

Eh, the same stuff was said after Bush v Gore and it died down within a few months of inauguration. You can see it happening already, most people are uninterested in pushing this.
