The most likely reason would be due to margins of error . Minessota ' s is matching within margin of error for exit polling while the others are not , therefore others are more likely fraudulent according to the info I ' m able to find at least . If evidence is found , I ' m for auditing all of it , including MN . EDIT Turns out MN doesn ' t have voting machines <| sep |> All these people pretending to care in the comments 😅 more than half prolly never seen the Brady bunch <| sep |> Can you elaborate on why you feel they are outdated and not ideal ? Both have worked well for me in the past . Also , do you have any suggestions for alternatives to consider ? Ideally I would almost like to avoid using any ORMs , third party libs , etc and just do everything from scratch using standard libs , but I didn ' t do that because it would make the book a good deal longer . Perhaps this would be better suited to a minibook blog series . I ' m not certain .
