Please note that ZERO of the communities posting election results during the first website update at 10:39pm had delivered any of their results flash drives to the Wayne County Clerk’s office prior to 10:39pm. Either the flash drives were delivered by carrier pigeon or the election results for all of the communities included in the 10:39pm update were uploaded via the internet.
In contrast to the official narrative, it is clear that election night results are uploaded via the internet. It is clear that one of the main reasons why I was denied the ability to oversee the election night returns was because it would be obvious that the municipal results were being communicated over the internet. Lying about internet connections or about how election night results are processed does not lend itself to improving confidence in our elections. If confidence in election results is a priority for election officials, the only way to achieve that is with more transparency not less.
