In reply to the discussion: Data Scientist's Shocking Call for Election Recount Raises Scary Questions! w/ Stephen Spoonamore [View all]LiberalLovinLug
(14,414 posts)22. So every other western democracy has inaccurate voting results?
More likely that there is a concerted effort to spread misinformation about hand counting inaccuracy.
Most of these countries also do a more thorough recount in the weeks to come. And then also include absentee votes etc. But if the winner is beyond any doubt on election night then they are announced the same day. This is what happens 99% of the time. With only a few ridings close enough into triggering recounts, but wouldn't affect the general outcome.
It is absolutely absurd to dismiss threats of digital manipulation, and to claim that every other democracy has inaccurate election results.

Yeah, Georgia tried that -- just counting the number of ballots, not tabulating them -- and people went nuts claiming

But, now we are wanting such checks because some believe the election results were hacked.
