> Beren would [...] cast fraudulent votes in support of Myers’ preferred candidates on behalf of voters she knew would not or did not physically appear at the polls. [...] If actual voter turnout was high, Beren would add fewer fraudulent votes in support of Myers’ preferred candidates.
Great, so now this gives extra credence to the "the election was stolen" narrative. Well, I mean it looks like in this case it had actually been stolen for years in that particular ward in Philly.
Hopefully one day we can have paper trails, IDs, registration records matching and so on. We can fly satellites beyond the solar system, but managing voting integrity of a few hundred million people is seemingly unsurmountable problem. Every single election it's an endless tirade of debates afterwards that it was stolen or not stolen and so on. This is stuff that even poorer countries with even more people seem to manage.

- mod 4y agoDid you think about the ramifications of the story at all? The data is totally irrelevant to whether or not this will bolster "stolen election" narratives for 99% of people who hear the story. These things have an impact even if the data doesn't support the narrative.

The extra votes weren't just ballots stuffed into a ballot box. The numbers of ballots matched the turn out numbers. They specifically used registered voters who they knew wouldn't be voting in this specific election. The issue was the people who check registration, ID, etc were in on the scam.
- rdtsc 4y ago> You understand this happened right..? Of course. The numbers match but the people didn't vote. Is that an impossible task to prevent his kind of fraud. It doesn't have to be technological, it could be a mix of human (procedural) and technological.
