A Northern Virginia county acknowledged it underreported President Joe Biden's margin of victory over Donald Trump there in the 2020 presidential election by about 4,000 votes, the first detailed accounting of errors that came to light in 2022 as part of a criminal case.
The admission Thursday from the Prince William County Office of Elections comes a week after prosecutors from the Virginia Attorney General's office dropped charges against the county's former registrar, Michele White.
Counts were also off in races for the U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives, though by lesser margins.
In a statement, the county's current registrar, Eric Olsen, emphasized that the mistakes did not come close to affecting the outcome of any race and “did not consistently favor one party or candidate but were likely due to a lack of proper planning, a difficult election environment, and human error.”

So there was election fraud - committed by republicans. Orange man was right, he was just wrong about the party committing the fraud.

In a statement, the county's current registrar, Eric Olsen, emphasized that the mistakes did not come close to affecting the outcome of any race and “did not consistently favor one party or candidate but were likely due to a lack of proper planning, a difficult election environment, and human error.”
In a phone interview, Olsen said the majority of errors occurred in so-called “split precincts,” in which one precinct is home to two different congressional districts. The county's voting system did not split the presidential vote by congressional district. The state system required them to be split that way. The errors occurred trying to conform the county data with the state requirements, he said.
Other mistakes highlighted faults in the county's validation process. For example, Olsen said he first discovered the mistakes when he noticed that Precincts 607 and 608 displayed identical presidential votes. Someone had entered one precinct's data into the other by mistake.
“It seemed like an obvious typo,” said Olsen, who replaced White as registrar and eventually reported the irregularities under his predecessor to state officials.
Fraud requires intent, and it seems like there was no intent here.
No, it was already proven there was election fraud against Trump. That's why the statement is now "widespread fraud" or similar wording.
Several people have already been arrested and charged with election fraud or similar acts on both sides.
Being an absolutist on this is harmful and further promotes black and white, all or nothing type thinking regarding the security of our elections.

Years of victim programing
Just because orange Hitler repeats something like a broken record doesn't make it true.
Weird how fraud isn't mentioned at all; much less widespread fraud...
Maybe so, but I only read about cases where a Republican voted twice or used a dead relative to vote for Trump
Where's the proof at
