When all the votes are counted this year, Americans should have far more confidence their votes were tallied correctly than in 2016.

After that contest was upended by Russian interference, states vastly increased the number of votes that are cast with paper records that can be audited later. More than 90 percent of votes will have a paper record this year compared with about 80 percent in 2016.

States have also significantly improved how often and how scrupulously they perform post-election audits.

The changes have been especially significant in some of the states ... contested by Trump.

Georgia and Pennsylvania have both shifted from having paper records for few or none of their voters in 2016 to having paper records for all votes cast in their states — a protection security experts say is a bare minimum to ensure votes weren’t altered by hackers or miscounted because of a technology failure.

    They did multiple recount genius, and Runaway you really need to stop sock puppeting. It is very pathetic behavior.

    Doing recounts on stuffed ballot boxes gives the same result? Who'd have thought?

      Trump's legal team refuses to claim that ballot boxes were stuffed under oath.

      Which is the simples hypothesis for this refusal:
      1) They don't want to get disbarred for perjury.
      2) They are all secret deep state operatives that waited until 2 weeks before Trump leaves office to hamstring one single legal argument.
