South Philadelphia Stein supporter, Rich Garella, wants forensic audit of Philly voting machines

<snip>
On Friday, Board of Elections employees broke the representatives from the Democratic, Green, and Republican Parties into three groups of about six or seven to go through the machines. Each group got 25 divisions.

As they went from machine to machine, an employee would print out that machine's voting receipt, which showed every vote made on it. The party representatives stood and watched. Some took pictures and videos. The groups later cross-referenced every receipt with the machine's cartridge.

But what Stein supporters really wanted was the forensic audit.

"The electronic result and the paper result come from the same source. So this is like wanting to get a second opinion and going back to the same doctor," said Rich Garella, a South Philadelphia Stein supporter who filled out an affidavit to get the recount.

YES. What good is a tabulation without an audit of how the machine arrived at a result that won't be tested?
