You find irregularities and fix them for the next election so they don't happen.
There are always irregularities. Elections are administered by humans after all. No amount of audits will fix them.
It will convince me. That is one voter.
Great to hear. Why didn't the previous 2 convince you? Or for that matter the recount? Or for that matter Bill Barr saying there was no large-scale election fraud? Or the 60 odd election challenges that were lost?
Now you are saying we don't need to improve the transparency?
Nope, we don't. Besides the fact that most if not all of the counting of ballots can be followed live. They are supervised by members of both campaigns. Every single campaign can request a recount, and contested ones get audited legal challenges can and do get filed. What exactly is not sufficiently transparent and what will audits do to make it more transparent?
So the argument is the supervisors were too far to see anything and the mail in ballots favored one candidate over another. I am glad you believe the process is excellent and transparent. I disagree.
An argument that was brought before a judge and subsequently voluntarily dismissed.
https://healthyelections-case-tracker.stanford.edu/detail?id=371. You can argue anything you like. I can argue that the moon is made out of cheese. A good argument is decided by its merit, not by the fact it is being made. And apparently, that one doesn't have enough merit to even continue before a court according to the people who filed it.
Now tell me exactly how auditing will help here?
So instant replay didn’t take off right away in sports. But eventually smarter heads prevailed and while it delayed some games, getting the right call ultimately makes the games better. An audit doesn’t have to reverse the election but it can lead to perhaps modus operandi that may be improved to ensure that elections are more transparent and people feel better about them once the are over. It is less about “judges” more about common sense. Not sure why you’re not understanding this and being condescending?
Common sense dictates that if you site a counterargument to someone, that argument has actually been found to have merit. As pointed out, the idea that the supervisors were too far has already been weighed and found lacking. Reiterating it like it has merit after that is anything BUT common sense. So is by the way comparing it to the progression of instant replay.
And I didn't mean to be condescending. I engaged in what is a reductio ad absurdium. Because your argument was already considered meritless and you still used it anyway. It's not that I haven't been condescending before, even in this OP, this just wasn't one of those times.
By the way, you still haven't told me how an audit would help in any of these issues? I can maybe see how an audit might help in determining specific flaws in the voting process. Although as I mentioned before 2 previous audits in this county make that highly unlikely. And as I also mentioned before, there is little chance any additional audits will actually increase trust. Since there have been many before without finding anything, but also without convincing anybody either. Telling me the actual results of investigations don't change the minds of conspiracy theories, which widespread election fraud in 2020 is. This includes Trump by the way.
It is also illustrated by your argument about ballot distance. This case was not just investigated, but actually dismissed and YOU still use it, citing common sense no less.
But audits will do absolutely NOTHING for transparency. Telling me it's a talking point that you probably haven't actually thought through yet.
