parallel vote counts

Parallel vote counts are an independent way to verify election results. They involve a group or organization collecting a small, random sample of voting tallies from polling stations across the country. By analyzing this sample, they can estimate the overall election outcome and check if it matches official results. This method helps detect potential irregularities or fraud, offering transparency and confidence in the electoral process. Essentially, it’s like taking a representative “test” of the votes to ensure the reported winner is accurate, without needing to count every single vote yourself.
