document. And is that, Mr. Donoghue, the white paper that Attorney General Barr asked the Homeland Security folks to produce?
A Right. I think Attorney General Barr in asking for a white paper was hoping for something more substantive and detailed, but they produced this one-pager with these bullet points, which was sufficient and made the point.
Q And, looking at the report, it says at the top: Those records were reviewed yesterday and recounted by hand. This verification, independent of the software and hardware systems in question, returned results that indicates the consistency of the systems, with a 12-vote difference from the previous final tally. That reflects what you said earlier about the fact that hand recount confirmed that the accuracy—essential veracity of the machine count?
A Correct. And although it changed, I believe, 12 votes, when you added them all up within Antrim, I believe it was actually only a one-vote swing ultimately. There were different election districts, and so, when you compiled all the election districts, yes, there was a difference of 12 votes, but in the end, they canceled each other out to the extent that there was only a one-vote difference, and there were about 15,000 votes cast in the county.
Q Yeah. So you went from initially an ASOG report that suggested, oh, a 68-percent error rate, we may have a real problem, to a hand recount that actually confirmed within 1 vote out of 15,000, the results were accurate?
A Right. And I did the math, and that's an error rate of .0063 percent, which is well within the tolerance for election equipment.
Q And certainly insufficient to cast doubt on the overall results of the Michigan election?
A Correct.
