Biden vs Trump: Auditing the 2020 US Presidential Election
![Jese Leos](https://bookishfables.com/author/kendall-ward.jpg)
The 2020 US Presidential Election was one of the most divisive and controversial in recent memory. With Joe Biden emerging as the victor against incumbent President Donald Trump, tensions ran high and accusations of voter fraud and irregularities surrounded the outcome. As a result, calls for auditing the election process grew louder from both sides of the political spectrum.
What is an Election Audit?
An election audit is a process that thoroughly examines and verifies the accuracy of the election results. It aims to ensure transparency and integrity in the electoral process, providing confidence to the public that their votes have been counted correctly.

Post-Election Audits
Post-election audits are conducted after the votes have been cast and counted. They involve a comprehensive review of the election procedures, including ballot tabulation, voter registration, and the chain of custody for ballots and voting machines.
These audits are typically carried out by independent agencies, such as state election commissions or third-party organizations specializing in election integrity. Their goal is to identify any irregularities, errors, or potential fraud that may have occurred during the voting process.
The 2020 US Presidential Election Auditing Process
Amidst the controversies and allegations, multiple audits were carried out to ensure the legitimacy of the 2020 US Presidential Election. Let's take a look at some of the key audits conducted:
1. State-level Audits
Each state has its own election laws and processes. As a result, audits were conducted at the state level to address specific concerns and allegations. These audits involved reviewing voter registration data, ballot counts, and investigating any reported instances of fraud or irregularities.
2. Hand Recounts
In several closely contested states, hand recounts were conducted to verify the accuracy of the initial vote count. This involved manually examining individual ballots to ensure they were correctly tallied by the voting machines.
3. Forensic Audits
Forensic audits go a step further by employing advanced techniques, such as examining ballot signatures, voting machine software, and analyzing network logs. These audits aim to identify any potential hacking attempts, tampering, or manipulation of the election results.
4. Court-Ordered Audits
In response to legal challenges filed by the Trump campaign, several courts ordered audits to address specific allegations of irregularities. These audits ensured compliance with court orders and reviewed the contested aspects of the election process.
Results and Findings
The audits conducted following the 2020 US Presidential Election yielded mixed results. While no evidence of widespread voter fraud or irregularities that could have swayed the election outcome was found, minor errors and isolated incidents were identified in some cases.
These findings were further confirmed by various independent organizations, including the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the Department of Justice, who stated that the 2020 election was the most secure in American history.
The Importance of Auditing
Auditing plays a crucial role in maintaining trust in the democratic process and ensuring the legitimacy of election outcomes. It allows for the identification and correction of any mistakes or issues, ultimately strengthening the integrity of the electoral system.
By conducting thorough audits, the government and relevant agencies can address concerns and provide reassurance to the public, regardless of their political affiliation, that their votes have been counted accurately.
Looking Ahead
The 2020 US Presidential Election brought the importance of auditing to the forefront. As the nation moves forward, it is crucial to learn from this experience and continue refining the election processes to ensure even greater transparency, security, and faith in democracy.
With future elections in mind, it is essential for legislators and election officials to work hand in hand to implement improved auditing measures, building upon the lessons learned from the 2020 election.
In
The audit of the 2020 US Presidential Election brought attention to the importance of transparency, accuracy, and integrity in the electoral process. While criticisms and allegations were raised, the conducted audits reaffirmed the legitimacy of the election outcome and demonstrated the robustness of the American democratic system. Moving forward, the lessons learned from this audit should be utilized to further enhance and secure future elections, ensuring fair representation and trust in our democratic society.

This Master's Thesis, written by Eaglesfield in 2021, presents a data science toolkit for examining the results of the 2020 United States Presidential Election. As well as examining the history of voter fraud, it examines how and why Donald Trump's claims of fraud were silenced by "big tech". Would the discrepencies found in the investigation have changed the outcome of the 2020 Presidential Election? How serious were the faults in administrative processes? Presenting ready-to-use code and datasets for armchair investigators, this is a system that can be used on all future elections to assess their integrity.
