44. After all of the issues with vote counting and tampering the last election...

Dec 2017

This would look highly suspect to anyone in a very contentious race, with one candidate being an accused sexual predator, no less.

If it's tight enough that verification is needed but can't be provided due to this ruling, I can see all kinds of court battles to follow. They were asked to preserve images of the votes to prevent tampering like we had last time, and the court interfered to block that. It's on the court's heads if there are serious questions.

Should this be real (someone else noted major media outlets haven't picked this up), and if I were a lawyer on the Dem side, I'd be calling the next step up for an emergency appeal of this ruling right now.
