2024 Election Results Under Scrutiny as Lawsuit Advances

A legal case questioning the accuracy of the 2024 election is moving
forward.
SMART Legislation, the action arm of SMART Elections, a nonpartisan
watchdog group, filed the lawsuit over voting discrepancies in Rockland
County, New York.
Judge Rachel Tanguay of the New York Supreme Court ruled in open court
in May that the allegations were serious enough for discovery to
proceed.
Why It Matters
The lawsuit could renew debate about the 2024 election, though it won't
change the outcome since Congress has certified the results declaring
President Donald Trump the winner.
It comes amid unconfirmed reports that voting machines were secretly
altered before ballots were cast in November's election. The federally
accredited testing lab, Pro V&V, that signed off on "significant"
changes to ES&S voting machines—which are used in over 40 percent of
U.S. counties—"vanished from public view" after the election, according
to the Dissent in Bloom Substack.
Jack Cobb, the director of Pro V&V, told Newsweek via email that the
changes approved by the lab relate to ballot boxes, ballot bins,
changing printers to newer models, adding mounting brackets and moving
the location of files. "There really is no change of any significance,"
he said. Cobb also said the lab's website was taken down and replaced
with a new one in February and has been "running ever since."
What To Know
According to the complaint, more voters have sworn in legal affidavits
that they voted for independent U.S. Senate candidate Diane Sare than
the Rockland County Board of Elections counted and certified,
contradicting those results. The complaint also cited numerous
statistical anomalies in the presidential election results.
They include multiple districts where hundreds of voters chose the
Democratic candidate Kirsten Gillibrand for Senate, but none voted for
former Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic candidate for
president.
