    The article doesn’t say how South Dakota county auditors are chosen, how they make decisions or what scrutiny they are subject to but I’m not sure I like your chances here

      It doesn’t matter. If 50 people challenge every voter in the state, that’s almost 50m reports that need sorted. Ideally, there will be enough outrage that thousands of people will be reporting. Also, manually reporting without using an API to create a denial of service would be the best tactic. The point is to display how insipid the process is, not to cause a denial of service attack.

        In the worst case, maybe they could simply disallow manual reports, and automate the selection of reports that match their desired outcomes, and the silent discard of all others.
