    Georgia to conduct its first 'risk limiting audit' before certifying election results

    Another wrinkle to the closely watched tabulation in Georgia: Before certifying results, Georgia election officials, under a new state law, will begin Friday what they’re calling a risk-limiting audit to ensure the votes were accurately counted.

    Under a risk-limiting audit (RLA), a statistically meaningful sample of ballots are examined by hand to see whether the declared winner truly won. The audit is mathematically designed to catch anomalies that would arise from misconfigured machines, procedural errors or intentional attack.

    But in a lawsuit filed by election technology activists, University of California, Berkeley, statistics professor Philip Stark, who helped pioneer the concept of RLAs, said in an affidavit the state’s procedures are more of a “pilot” than a true RLA. That’s because Georgia is using new electronic ballot marking devices that print out paper records rather than the hand-marked paper ballots necessary for the high quality audit trail, he said.

    Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said Wednesday the state’s review will produce “over 90 percent confidence level” in the results and certification will be reached by Nov. 13.
    I'd say this sounds suspicious, but no, they passed the law a while ago.

    Seeing Trump struggle to remember what it's called and then go with "The highest court in the land" is fucking remarkable.

    Tom Cotton is chomping at the bit for his run. Trump himself is still eligible to run. It's going to be another shitshow - but at least Trump won't be at the helm (if he loses) and if he loses we can start prosecuting him for all his crimes. Plus his family.

    Isn't 90% pretty shitty in terms of statistics? At least in my case we've always treated 95% as the minimum if you want the results to be useful.

    That was 10k votes being counted, apparently in an 80/20% split for Biden.

    Not yet. Biden team is expecting to make a kind of "we won" speech as one state is set to declare for Biden shortly. We'll see how Trump handles that tonight and in the coming days/weeks.

    Well if the rest of them tilt even slightly for Biden, that should be Georgia in the bag. That means there are still at least 20k votes out, right?

    The difference was 9.5k before and 3.5k after. So Biden was +6k on the votes, which means he won 8k to Trump's 2k of those 10k.
