it's a company owned by Bain. So we know the results will be accurate. Well, within a few years anyway.

2. Elections departments are responsible for audits

IMO, there needs to be much more handcount auditing. Frinstance, King County only audits countywide races, not LD or city contests. Kathleen Drew, candidate for SecState, actually understands that this is a problem, so I have some hope for her.

3. I am very much worried about the governor race. Is there some way

citizens can "help" oversee the counting. Or getting an outside audit of some sort?

Will there be exit polls?

4. You can contact your local Dem organizations and volunteer to be an elections watcher

Explicitly ask to observe hand count audits. It's much harder to get volunteers now because this used to be a minimum wage paid position, and now is unpaid volunteer work.
