So after each election we conduct a post election voting equipment audit, which involves hand counting ballots in randomly selected jurisdictions to ensure that the paper ballots reflect the machine totals on the tabulators. And In the state of Wisconsin after the 2020 election, and then again after 2022 election, we actually audited 10% of the ballots in the state of Wisconsin and compared those paper totals against the machine totals and found that they were incredibly accurate. And so it's not just a matter of avoiding those attacks, preparing for those threats. We actually take a look after each election to ensure that our protections of the system did indeed work.
