    2024 Election Results Under Scrutiny as Lawsuit Advances

    A legal case questioning the accuracy of the 2024 election is moving
    forward.

    SMART Legislation, the action arm of SMART Elections, a nonpartisan
    watchdog group, filed the lawsuit over voting discrepancies in Rockland
    County, New York.

    Judge Rachel Tanguay of the New York Supreme Court ruled in open court
    in May that the allegations were serious enough for discovery to
    proceed.

    Why It Matters

    The lawsuit could renew debate about the 2024 election, though it won't
    change the outcome since Congress has certified the results declaring
    President Donald Trump the winner.

    It comes amid unconfirmed reports that voting machines were secretly
    altered before ballots were cast in November's election. The federally accredited testing lab, Pro V&V, that signed off on "significant"
    changes to ES&S voting machinesrCowhich are used in over 40 percent of
    U.S. countiesrCo"vanished from public view" after the election, according
    to the Dissent in Bloom Substack.

    Jack Cobb, the director of Pro V&V, told Newsweek via email that the
    changes approved by the lab relate to ballot boxes, ballot bins,
    changing printers to newer models, adding mounting brackets and moving
    the location of files. "There really is no change of any significance,"
    he said. Cobb also said the lab's website was taken down and replaced
    with a new one in February and has been "running ever since."
    What To Know

    According to the complaint, more voters have sworn in legal affidavits
    that they voted for independent U.S. Senate candidate Diane Sare than
    the Rockland County Board of Elections counted and certified,
    contradicting those results. The complaint also cited numerous
    statistical anomalies in the presidential election results.

    They include multiple districts where hundreds of voters chose the
    Democratic candidate Kirsten Gillibrand for Senate, but none voted for
    former Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic candidate for
    president.
