We're finalizing analysis of the Tennessee special election held this week. While we wait on that report, we'd like to remind everyone that candidates are typically the people with standing to request timely hand counts to verify the vote after an election. Our team is happy to connect with any candidate across the U.S. and provide our analysis and professional recommendations for election integrity. We recommend full hand counts following every U.S. election as standard practice to safeguard against systematic compromise or manipulation of our election systems."
