 I think with anything that involves 300+ million people there is fraud. The effort has always been to minimize it so results are valid ish...

For example last place I worked, 50% of online purchase attempts were fraud... So you had to reduce the ones you accept to minimal or business fails 
 50% is invalid in order to keep the business going. So purchase marked as fraud: null and void. Did they do the same with the election: where they just cancelled the fraudulous ballots? Or they changed them? 
 No idea 😁 
 I guess it amounts to the same. Wether you cancel a bunch of ballots from side 1 or you change them to side 2, it’s still an advantage for side 2 
 Exactly. 👍 
 Very good questions. ☝️ 
 Use Splunk. Ingest logs, find trends, identify fraud. 

It doesn’t have to be as fraudulent as it is. 300m people or not. IMO.
