That is an interesting article. Though I think the main points of the AP criticism still are important.

Of the 2000 people identified, how many of those were found near the ballot drop boxes AND were dropping off ballots on video. Particularly, how many did so more than once?

The actual data in terms of answers to these questions were not clear to me in either article frankly.

And as noted in both articles, none of this is particularly compelling evidence that this would have affected the outcome of the election.

My own view on that of course is that all human processes have a finite error rate. Very few are 1 part in 200 million, so that means there will always be some error in vote counting in the US. Basically the outcome was within random error.

Friday I watched a recording of the head of the Surface Transportation Board meeting with a shipper’s association on May 25.  This shit is getting real.  There were no solutions.  Just an admission that this is now a crisis.  I think it’s going to get much worse.
