Election Audits



Colorado does a risk-limiting audit after each election and the results are due this year by Nov. 24.  A risk-limiting audit is " a procedure that compares votes on paper ballots with results collected by vote-counting machines to scan for discrepancies and correct erroneous tabulations." 

The only other states that have similar procedures are Virginia and Rhode Island.  

There are other types of post-election audits as well.  34 states do some kind of post-election audit.

Which states don't and are very vulnerable to election fraud?  Let's name them.  (I am not implying that any election fraud occurred in these states.)  

Here is the list of states that don't do any kind of post-election audit:
Alabama
Louisiana
Maine
Mississippi
New Hampshire
South Dakota

Here is the list that do an "other" type, implying that it is deficient in some way, or it may be discretionary or only done in limited circumstances:
Idaho
Indiana
Nebraska
North Dakota
South Carolina
Wyoming

Note that none of the swing states this year are on the list, meaning that they all will do some kind of post-election audit.  I sure would like to read the audit reports when they are available.  I will update this if I find out more information.
