2024 Presidential and Senate Results Called Into Question as Lawsuit Advances

NEW CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / May 29, 2025 / A seminal case questioning the accuracy of the 2024 Presidential and Senate election results in Rockland County, New York, is moving forward. In open court last Thursday, Judge Rachel Tanguay of the New York Supreme Court, ruled that discovery must proceed, pushing the lawsuit brought by SMART Legislation into the evidence-gathering stage. The lawsuit seeks a full hand recount of the Presidential and U.S. Senate races in Rockland County.

SMART Legislation, the action arm of SMART Elections, is the lead plaintiff in the case. Both organizations are dedicated to ensuring fair and accurate elections.

“There is clear evidence that the senate results are incorrect, and there are statistical indications that the presidential results are highly unlikely,” stated Lulu Friesdat, Founder and Executive Director of SMART Legislation. “If the results are incorrect, it is a violation of the constitutional rights of each person who voted in the 2024 Rockland County general election. The best way to determine if the results are correct is to examine the paper ballots in a full public, transparent hand recount of all presidential and senate ballots in Rockland County. We believe it’s vitally important, especially in the current environment, to be absolutely confident about the results of the election.”

As stated in the complaint, more voters have sworn they voted for independent U.S. Senate candidate Diane Sare than the Rockland County Board of Elections counted and certified, directly contradicting those results. Additionally, the presidential election results exhibit numerous statistical anomalies. The anomalies in the presidential race include multiple districts where hundreds of voters chose the Democratic candidate Kirsten Gillibrand for Senate, but where zero voters selected the Democratic Presidential candidate Kamala Harris.

Republican drop-off (23%): 23% of Trump’s totals in Rockland County exceed the 2024 Republican Senate candidate. The high drop-off rate illustrates that the presidential candidate far outperformed his down-ballot counterpart.

Democratic drop-off is negative (-9%): 9% of Harris’ totals are below the Democratic Senate candidate. This is a highly unusual phenomenon that was repeated across the state and across the country. Rockland County is the first county where it is being formally investigated.

I recall reading that in the 2016 elections there were 10,000s of voters who voted down ballot but not for president at all.

These were voters who went to the precincts and voted for congressmen, senators, state reps etc. but did not select a candidate for president.

My recollection might be off but the numbers were 80,000 for Detroit, 90,000 for Philadelphia and 160,000 for Miami.

In grad school (Poli-Sci) I remember a paper explaining why 5,000 voters in LA county did not vote for one of the candidates --- they mostly
Wrote in 'Mickey Mouse'. I doubt the voters in Miami, Detroit or Philadelphia did that.

Very easy to delete votes by reprogramming the tabulation software and then erasing the change.
