Rumor vs. Reality vs. Math ErrorsEverybody makes mistakes, but the audit report remains online without acknowledgement of the anomaly.The federal and state governments have a process for promoting the accuracy of elections through "rumor vs. reality" web pages on government web sites, such as https://www.sos.nm.gov/voting-and-elections/voter-information-portal-nmvote-org/rumor-vs-reality/. Accurate elections are considered "reality" and challenges to accurate elections are "rumor." The MIT Election Lab rates New Mexico as having the #1 election process https://elections.mit.edu/#/data/map?view=state-profile&state=NM&year=2022. Per social media post below, New Mexico is very proud of the endorsement from MIT.
Most elementary school pupils learn that 2+2=4, but that 2+2=5 is a math error. What would you think if the federal and state governments designated 2+2=4 as "rumor" and 2+2=5 as "reality"? Furthermore, what if an esteemed technical university designated an election process "#1" even though it used arithmetic where 2+2=5? In this example, you would have to weigh your confidence in arithmetic against the authority of the government and a university. This document explained the use of random audits in detecting tampering and let you see with your own eyes one precinct being selected 41 times. The previous page showed a chart with an irregular red line showing the distribution of dice rolls and a green curve with a big rectangular cutout showing purportedly random precinct selections. You, the reader, can make your own decision. Do you believe the precinct selections shown by the green curve are random and that the New Mexico 2022 election audit proves that the 2022 election was accurate?
