Best of Black Box? N/A

In the records request I sent to the legal team, it requested the machine-by-machine counts, in the form of a specific ES&S event log. I don't know if they requested exactly the logs I specified, but I agree that it is very important to get the machine logs for each precinct, for two reasons. First, because it will show if there is any error logged that correlates with the excessive undervotes, and next, because it will tell how many votes are on each machine.

The results tapes from each machine will tell how many votes were cast, and the number of undervotes per machine can be found from that as well. The machine event logs may or may not flag undervotes.

I am thinking I'll make a request myself for those event logs. Then we can post them here and chew on them.
 

The public must be able to see and authenticate these four essential steps for an election to be public, democratic, and valid: (1) Who can vote (voter list); (2) Who did vote (3) The original count; (4) Chain of custody.
