A lawsuit is unfolding in Rockland County, NY challenging the results of the 2024 election in districts where statistical anomalies occurred.

Sworn affidavits from voters claim votes were not properly counted, while a statistical analysis cited in the complaint suggests the presidential results deviate sharply from expectations based on prior elections. In multiple districts, results showed voters backing a Democratic Senate Kirsten Gillibrand alongside a total of zero votes for Kamala Harris.

    Of note, Kirsten Gillibrand was on the ballot for a different seat. My guess is that it means something was calling the wrong database table (Senate candidates instead of presidential candidates). This could’ve been while casting votes, counting votes, or reporting results.

    It doesn’t make it any less concerning for our democracy, but it’s a lot easier to explain how it happened.
