Fact check: Audit of 2024 USA election

1. Summary of the results

The analyses reveal that multiple states conducted comprehensive audits of the 2024 USA election with remarkably consistent findings. Wisconsin's audit found zero voting machine errors or software tampering, with only five human errors detected out of nearly 10% of the state's ballots, resulting in an extraordinarily low error rate of 0.0000009% ^{[1] [2]}.

Pennsylvania's post-election audits confirmed the accuracy of the 2024 general election results, with only six vote discrepancies found during the risk-limiting audit, and all counties reporting accurate audit results ^[3]. Ohio's election audit achieved an accuracy rate of over 99%, with only minor discrepancies found, and election officials praising the efficiency and trustworthiness of the election process ^[4].

These audits collectively demonstrate that the 2024 election infrastructure performed with exceptional accuracy across multiple swing states, with human errors being minimal and no evidence of systematic voting machine manipulation.

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The original statement lacks crucial specificity about which aspects of the 2024 election audit are being questioned. The analyses reveal that while most audits confirmed election integrity, there are ongoing legal challenges. A lawsuit in New York raised allegations of untested software changes and missing votes, though no conclusive evidence of widespread fraud was provided ^[5].

Additionally, the analyses show that noncitizen voting instances are extremely rare, but recent criminal cases may be used to justify voter registration restrictions despite the lack of evidence of widespread voter fraud ^[6]. This suggests that political actors may benefit from amplifying isolated incidents to support broader policy changes affecting voter access.

Election officials and voting technology companies would benefit from the narrative that audits confirm system integrity, as it validates their processes and technology. Conversely, political figures and organizations promoting election fraud claims would benefit from highlighting any discrepancies, regardless of their statistical significance, to maintain skepticism about election results.

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original statement "Audit of 2024 USA election" is deliberately vague and potentially misleading by omitting the overwhelmingly positive results that audits have actually produced. By not specifying what aspect of the audit is being questioned, it creates an impression that there are significant problems with the 2024 election when the evidence shows the opposite.

The statement fails to acknowledge that audits have been conducted and completed in multiple states with results that strongly support election integrity ^{[1] [3] [2] [4]}. This omission could be interpreted as an attempt to perpetuate unfounded skepticism about election results despite clear evidence from official audits.

The framing suggests there are unresolved questions about the 2024 election audit when, in fact, the audits have been completed and demonstrate exceptional accuracy across multiple states, with error rates well below any threshold that would affect election outcomes.
