- saas_sam 2y agoCan you find any website or document that validates that these "random audits" are done? By whom and on what cadence? I've not been able to find anything like this. Just hand-waving, assertions that "someone does something," and so on.

There's a page on their SOS site... https://coloradosos.gov/pubs/elections/auditCenter.html https://coloradosos.gov/pubs/elections/auditCenter.html Which even has a YouTube video on the process... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oKgSKh4utNo https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oKgSKh4utNo
