A chart on Lindell’s website — which does not make clear the origin of its data — purports Trump won Idaho by an additional 70,000 votes but alleges the vote was electronically manipulated, and so they were not included in the results. An “analysis” claims that the vote total in each of Idaho’s 44 counties was off
by about 8 percent.
Red flags about the validity of the chart were immediately obvious, Houck said. In Idaho, seven of the 44 counties do not even use electronic voting machines, so there were no machines to manipulate.
Still, Houck’s office decided to manually count the ballots in two of Idaho’s smallest counties — Camas and Butte — as well as manually recount the ballots in eight of the 32 precincts in Bonner County, a medium-size locale in the state. Between the three counties, it found
an error rate of roughly 0.1 percent.
