Oh, I know. You converted me on that about Bush's victory and that it may have been Kerry after all. At least the possibility.
Interesting about the Obama digital database and early preview of Zuckbucks --- it just didn't seem that close an election but maybe it was. What most recall is "Project Orca" beaching (pun intended) and a memorable tirade against the Romney campaign's incompetence.
Point remaining is that without transparency and fast vote counting, there is no way to know if the claimed results are accurate or not.
My advice is that Jay Valentine be handed enough money to run both his election roll review and the NGO money tracing operations using his fractal technology.

Amend HAVA to put an enforcement mechanism in for states not passing the minimum requirements for certification. Vastly reform the EAC and CISA division that handles elections. No more revolving doors for electronic voting companies and their employees and execs in effect checking their own work.
Ideally, I would like to see a special federal court be created just for election contests with judges who are steeped in computer literacy. Think like patent courts.
One thing I saw repeatedly from hearings after 2020 and then 2022 midterms was that the judges had no idea how to interpret the expert testimony and were completely lost. Only reason I could follow it was because I had done such a deep dive on how electronic voting systems work, their vulnerabilities to bad actors and so forth.
One election court per Circuit, not only in DC, as the federal bench in DC mostly sucks.
Would also help if there was an entire CLE program to teach the lawyers handling those types of cases understand the lingo and how to break it down for laypeople.
