Sample message: Given unprecedented challenges, I urge you to conduct a comprehensive forensic audit. Such an effort would not only verify the accuracy of the vote count but also identify vulnerabilities that could threaten future elections. Nations like Germany and Brazil have set examples by conducting forensic reviews to protect electoral integrity. The United States should demonstrate the same commitment to transparency and fairness.

Before leaving for our Thanksgiving holiday, we had been covering, in some detail (see here and here for a start), concerns by longtime computer scientists and cybersecurity and voting systems experts about the accuracy of the results of the 2024 Presidential election. The bulk of their concerns center around unprecedented breaches of proprietary voting system software by Trump supporters in several different battleground states after the 2020 election.
Systems were unlawfully breached and its software copied and distributed via the Internet to MAGA "Stop the Stealers". The experts have been calling on [PDF] Vice President Harris to seek hand-counts or partial hand-counts in several battleground states to confirm the accuracy of reported results.
While we were off last week, another expert rang in. Jacqueline Singh served as the Lead Incident Response and Threat Analyst for the 2020 Biden-Harris Campaign. Last week she penned a brief, open letter to President Biden and Vice President Harris, urging them to seek "a comprehensive forensic audit" of the 2024 results, based on a number of issues that she argues "undermine confidence in the election results.”
Singh, "the cybersecurity lead" on Biden's 2020 campaign, explains why such an audit would "not only verify the accuracy of the vote count but also identify vulnerabilities that could threaten future elections." That said, I have neither seen nor heard any evidence that the Biden-Harris Administration, the Harris-Walz Campaign, or any other official body is even considering such a post-election audit beyond the few, minimal spot checks run by several states, much less a full or partial hand-count of paper ballots in states won by Biden in 2020 but reportedly lost by Harris in 2024.
