Allegations of Voting Irregularities Surface in Vermont Elections

In the aftermath of the recent Vermont election, concerns have emerged regarding the integrity of the voting process, with some alleging irregularities reminiscent of those seen in the 2020 election. Citing data from the Edison Research election system, critics point to significant fluctuations in vote counts, suggesting the presence of an algorithmic influence on the results.

According to reports, Scytl, a company that processes election data, received raw data directly from officials in at least nine states, including Vermont. Observers noted anomalies in the reported vote counts, which deviated from the expected additive process typical of elections. Instead, there were instances of votes paused, oscillated, and even deleted over time, raising questions about the accuracy and transparency of the electoral process.

Critics argue that such fluctuations in vote counts indicate the presence of an algorithm attempting to manipulate an election’s outcome. They point to examples where the reported percentage of votes counted shifted suddenly, with figures fluctuating from 99 percent to 95 percent, undermining confidence in the data. Concerns over the election data have led to calls for an investigation.

But, just so we are clear, Nikki Haley won the Vermont GOP primary. However, Vermont has an open primary, which means Democrats voted in the GOP primary and is also the state that elected Communist Bernie Sanders to the US Senate.
