Lawsuit seeks hand recount of ballots in Rockland County, NY [View all]
.
What To Know
Pro V&V approved four updates on voting machine software and firmware between March and September 2024, according to a February post on the SMART Elections Substack page.
..
All of the updates were put through as "de minimus," meaning that no additional testing is required for the updates to be installed. That "increases the risk of malware coming in on these updates," according to SMART Elections.
.
"These weren't minor tweaks," according to a post on the page. "They touched ballot scanners, modified audit files, and even affected machines flagged by CISA. But by calling them 'de minimis,' they avoided full testing, public scrutiny, and transparency."

What Happens Next
SMART Legislation's lawsuit is seeking a full, hand recount of ballots cast in the presidential and U.S. Senate races in Rockland County. A hearing has been scheduled for September 22.
