Experts Are Calling For Election Audits In California Recall Election

When Mike Lindell talks about election audit’s he’s a conspiracy theorist but when the Associated Press releases a report that the California recall election needs to have an audit nobody argues with them.

The Associated Press in a recent report declared that a group of election experts have called for California’s recall election to be immediately audited after the election is concluded.

According to the report the experts sent a letter to California’s Secretary of State warning of potential election fraud that can occur with Dominion Voting Systems.

It’s awfully funny how the Associated Press wants to report about election fraud after they tried so hard to cover up about the fraud that occurred in the 2020 election.

Here’s the report by the Associated Press:

A group of election security experts on Thursday called for a rigorous audit of the upcoming recall election for California’s governor after copies of systems used to run elections across the country were released publicly.

Their letter sent to the secretary of state’s office urges the state to conduct a type of post-election audit that can help detect malicious attempts to interfere.

The statewide recall targeting Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom, set for Sept. 14, is the first election since copies of Dominion Voting Systems’ election management system were distributed last month at an event organized by MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, an ally of former President Donald Trump who has made unsubstantiated claims about last year’s election. Election offices across 30 states use the Dominion system, including 40 counties in California.

Election security experts have said the breaches, from a county in Colorado and another in Michigan, pose a heightened risk to elections because the system is used for a number of administrative functions — from designing ballots and configuring voting machines to tallying results. In the letter, the experts said they do not have evidence that anyone plans to attempt a hack of the systems used in California and are not casting blame on Dominion.

“However, it is critical to recognize that the release of the Dominion software into the wild has increased the risk to the security of California elections to the point that emergency action is warranted,” the experts wrote in their letter, which was shared with The Associated Press.

The eight experts signing the letter include computer scientists, election technology experts and cybersecurity researchers.
