Retaining Election Records From The 2024 Election

Did the number of people who voted in the November 3, 2020 general election equal the number of ballots cast? A recent research study by the America First Policy Institute (AFPI) says the records that would answer the question do not exist. Records are supposed to be maintained to determine how many people have voted in an election and how many ballots have been cast. Section 20701 of the Civil Rights Act of 1960 provides that election officials have to keep all records of federal primary, special, or general elections for 22 months after the date of the election. Any willful violation can be punished by a fine of up to $1,000 or imprisonment for one year, or both. Section 20702 provides similar penalties for the willful theft, destruction, concealment, mutilation, or alteration of any such record. The purpose of these sections is to make it more difficult to hide election fraud. How good of a job are election officials doing in retaining these records?
There are some precincts where the total number of ballots cast is greater than the total number of people who actually voted, and other precincts where the total number of voters recorded as voting is greater than the number of votes. There could be one precinct with 100 more votes than voters and another in the same county with 100 more voters than votes. If they were lumped together at the county level, it would look like there were an equal number of voters and votes, but that would hide the problem. Thus, it appears the county-level data underestimates vote discrepancies. The findings for Pennsylvania revealed that there were three precincts where the number of ballots cast in the November 2020 general election was more than double the number of voters recorded as voting. In those precincts, there was 1,985 more votes than voters recorded as voting. For subsequent analyses, three main datasets were used: the state dataset we received from the Secretary of State (SoS)/state’s election authority, the county datasets, and the canvasses.
Public record requests to county officials occurred over several months, beginning in March 2022. This examination sought to obtain time-stamped voter record data from the top 100 most populated counties of the 14 swing states: Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, North Carolina, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Wisconsin. Incredibly, only six of these top 100 county election officers responded with data of voters who voted in the November 3, 2020 general election without disclaimers (meaning some claim that the data were not exactly retained). Nonetheless, discrepancies still existed for these counties. For Miami-Dade, Florida, for just the available precincts, the discrepancy between the number of registered voters who voted and the number of ballots cast is 1.6%. This translates into a difference of 16,617 votes. To give perspective on the size of that gap, in 2018, Senator Rick Scott won Florida’s U.S. Senate seat by 10,033 votes. Nikki Fried became Florida’s Agriculture Commissioner by just 6,753 votes.
It is more than half of Governor Ron DeSantis’ victory margin in the governor’s race of 32,463 votes. Cobb County, Georgia, had an 8.8% discrepancy, amounting to 34,893 votes. In the vast majority of cases, the information necessary to compare the number of ballots cast with the number of people who voted does not exist. In other cases, when that data is available, the numbers don’t match. That is not to say there was incompetence, voter fraud, or stolen elections. It is a question of transparency and accurate records. Transparency is essential if we are to restore confidence, considering there are roughly 29% of Americans who did not believe the proper winner was declared in either the 2016 or 2020 general elections and that only 59% of Americans feel confident that their votes will be accurately counted. Having these federally (and in some cases state) mandated records retained and timestamped, preferably digitally, would significantly reduce doubt in our democratic process and immediately restore confidence. This should be easily achievable in the digital age, and Americans should expect this sort of retention to happen. It’s not only a civil rights issue but a transparency issue that has eroded confidence in our electoral system.
Ниже представлен список телеканалов, зарегистрированных в соответствии с законодательством Российской Федерации или созданных российскими юридическими лицами. Список включает каналы, доступные на большей части территории России и за её пределами, а также каналы регионального значения. Для удобства пользования список разбит на таблицы по категориям. Полное отключение аналогового эфирного вещания завершилось 14 октября 2019 года. В приграничных регионах к 17 июня 2015 года были отключено вещание на некоторых аналоговых каналах (переведено на другие частоты). В целях развития цифрового радиовещания в России, в мультиплекс были добавлены радиоканалы. 25 сентября 2013 года состоялся розыгрыш второй позиции, освободившейся после перехода «ТВ Центра» в первый мультиплекс. В сентябре 2015 года шестую позицию занял канал «Пятница! » в связи с отказом канала «Спорт Плюс» от цифрового эфирного вещания. Предполагается, что в третьем мультиплексе будут находиться четыре региональных или муниципальных телеканала, осуществляющие вещание по собственному контенту или сигналам сетевых партнеров не вошедших в другие мультиплексы и один HD-канал.
