Causes of RW01 discrepancies across original count, audit, and recount

Determine the causes of the discrepancies among the original machine count, the manual audit, and the machine recount for Fulton County precinct RW01 in the 2020 U.S. Presidential election, specifically whether the differences were primarily due to malware, software bugs, system misconfiguration, or human error.

Background

The paper documents substantial, unexplained differences in RW01 tallies across the original count, the audit, and the recount, with shifts that cannot be accounted for by presumed hand-count error alone.

Because none of the potential explanations—malware, bugs, misconfiguration, or human error—were investigated, the primary cause of these discrepancies remains unresolved.
