A National Election in the United States is really 51 ( including the District of Columbia) separate state elections directed by each state's legislature (or D.C. government) that together produce a national election result. Each state selects its electors under Article II, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution. What emerged in 2020 were basic issues of election integrity in certain jurisdictions or for specific processes in state elections.
Virginia Election Integrity Actions
The Rockingham County Republican Committee had a representative for the accuracy testing of voting machines in September 2021 and was present for every day of the 2021 post-election canvas on November 3,4,5, and 8, 2021. Local voter registration records were updated monthly throughout 2021.
The State of Virginia also spent $1.5 million on an election intregrity ad campaign.
​
The Rockingham County Republican Committee monitored the local Risk-Limiting Audit on February 2021. The report on statewide audit results can be found here.
​
The purpose of conducting a Risk Limiting Audit is generally to ensure the accuracy of an election BEFORE it is certified. Normally, there are three levels: polling of samples from precincts, partial recount, and full recount as necessary to ensure accuracy of the data – all done BEFORE certification. The Virginia RLA is being done several months AFTER the certification of results to ensure machine accuracy. Any errors that may be found will have no impact on the election for which ballots were sampled.
The position of the Republican Party of Virginia is that this is an ineffective exercise that wastes taxpayer money and does not accomplish any of the tasks of a Risk Limiting Audit, which is to ensure the accuracy of election results before they are certified. Why do it at this point? Well, the only possible purpose at this point is to give the appearance of accuracy of the election process and the equipment. Logic and Accuracy testing of the equipment before the election already provides a review of election machine accuracy.

As the United States has sought to help other countries implement democratic reforms, the U.S. Agency for International Development has developed a number of resources for assisting countries with conducting elections that produce governments that have legitimate standing with its citizens. These resources include a robust toolkit as well as many examples of election processes and results which were analyzed. These are useful tools for understanding the 2020 U.S. election and making corrections for the future. Republican lawyers used these tools to challenge probelmatic areas.
