In another blow to Trump's "STOLLEN ELECTION" narrative, Republicans have found 4,000 votes that were miscounted — in Trump's favor and to Biden's detriment.

The reporting errors were presumably a consequence of the results tapes not being programmed to a format that was compatible with state reporting requirements. Attempts to correct this issue appear to have created errors. The reporting errors did not consistently favor one party or candidate but were likely due to a lack of proper planning, a difficult election environment, and human error.

…

The discrepancies did not affect the outcome of any of the elections, but they did add to a growing list of defeats for Trump’s election lies.

    I know it’s still in use but for long-term storage and not a daily driver. Seems rather odd to use tape at such an early stage in the process. Once the election is done and settled then sure, put it on tape and stow it.
