The results of the 2024 election are under scrutiny as a legal case questioning its accuracy moves forward.

According to Newsweek, New York Supreme Court Judge Rachel Tanguay recently ruled that a lawsuit filed over voting discrepancies in Rockland County could proceed.

The lawsuit stems from allegations that voting machines were altered ahead of the November election. Pro V&V, a federally accredited testing lab, approved "significant" changes to ES&S voting machines, which are used in over 40 percent of the nation's counties, according to the Dissent in Bloom Substack.

Jack Cobb, the director of Pro V&V, stated that the changes were related to ballot boxes, ballot bins, upgrading printers to newer models, adding mounting brackets, and relocating file storage. "There really is no change of any significance," Cobb said.

In response to allegations that Pro V&V "vanished from public view" amid the changes, Cobb said the lab's website was taken down and replaced with a new one in February and has been "running ever since."

The lawsuit over discrepancies in Rockland County states that more voters swore in legal affidavits that they voted for independent U.S. Senate candidate Diane Sare than the Board of Elections counted and certified. According to the lawsuit, there are also several statistical anomalies in the presidential election results, including multiple districts where hundreds of voters chose the Democratic candidate Kirsten Gillibrand for Senate, but none voted for former Vice President Kamala Harris.

Lulu Friesdat, the founder and executive director of SMART Legislation, who filed the suit, said in a statement: "There is clear evidence that the Senate results are incorrect, and there are statistical indications that the presidential results are highly unlikely.

"If the results are incorrect, it is a violation of the constitutional rights of each person who voted in the 2024 Rockland County general election. The best way to determine if the results are correct is to examine the paper ballots in a full public, transparent hand recount of all presidential and Senate ballots in Rockland County. We believe it's vitally important, especially in the current environment, to be absolutely confident about the results of the election."

Though questions are swirling over the accuracy of the election, it won't change the outcome since Congress certified the results.
