Unite4Freedom (U4F) just released its most recent Vote Tampering Reports for New York State’s 2020, 2022 and 2024 general elections. Comparing successive timestamped snapshots of New York’s official voter records, U4F analysts exposed changes made to voter participation history after certification in each election. Each snapshot analyzed is the state’s official record of who voted and when they voted—not how they voted—which should have been preserved and maintained as part of the official election record.
Exactly What Do The Reports Show?
The five successive comparisons of data from snapshots, ranging from December 10, 2024 to June 2, 2026 across the last three federal election cycles, exposed the following types of changes:
- Vote histories deleted after election
- Vote histories added after election
- Voter and their history deleted after initially being recorded
- Voter and participation added after the election.
In 2024, there were 682,515 changes.
In 2022, there were 613,130 changes.
In 2020, there were 1,632,643 changes.
These are changes made to a voter’s history AFTER the election was certified. The frequency, type, and number of changes over time suggest these are not simple, normal, or random mistakes. And we have found this in multiple elections and in several other states.
The complete New York Vote Tampering Reports along with additional reports previously released are available at unite4freedom.com/reports/vote-tampering-reports/.
A Fundamental Question About Certification
Under both federal and state law, when election officials certify election results, they are signing their name to an official document attesting that they complied with the required election processes, counted the ballots, and are claiming the results are accurate.
So, if election results were accurate when they were certified, why is voter participation associated with those certified elections continuing to change years later?
“Except for minor changes, either the official certified records were accurate at the time of certification, and significant changes should not have been made, OR the records weren’t accurate, in which case they should NOT have been certified,” says U4F Chairman, Harry Haury. “There is no third option! The official records show massive changes, and election officials must explain why.”
Federal Elections Must Follow Federal Law
The Help America Vote Act requires states to maintain a single, uniform, official statewide voter registration list containing every legally registered voter, while federal record-retention laws require preservation of election records sufficient to document the results and conduct of federal elections.
Alleged federal requirements at issue
- Maintenance of an accurate, official statewide voter-registration list. (52 USC § 21083(a)(1), (a)(4))
- Retention of records sufficient to explain any discrepancy between the certified ballot count and participation history. (52 USC § 20701, 22-month federal retention requirement)
- Provision of an audit trail—date, requester, reason, authority, and reconciliation effect—for post-certification changes. (52 USC § 21083(a)(1)(A), (a)(2))
- Maintenance of election records in complete, auditable form, retained either directly by election officials or under their direct administrative supervision. (US Dept. of Justice, Civil Rights Div., Federal Law Constraints on Post-Election “Audits” (Apr. 2024), interpreting 52 USC §§ 20701–20706)
U4F is Asking New York Election Officials to Publicly Explain:
- Why do certified voter history records continue to change years after the elections?
- Who authorized those changes, under what authority, and where are the records that demonstrate those changes?
- What controls exist to prevent unauthorized modification of election records?
- How can citizens have confidence in the result of their elections and independently verify that certified election records are accurate and complete?
New York and Beyond
The New York Vote Tampering Reports are part of a national effort examining election records maintained by state election officials across the country. Similar analyses conducted by Unite4Freedom have identified post-certification record changes in at least seven other states, with several additional reports on the way.
In Texas, U4F measured apparent vote tampering DURING the 2024 General Election and the 2026 Democratic and Republican Primary Elections. These reports expose problems that happen too frequently and follow patterns that don’t occur by chance or simple mistakes. The way the data changes over time suggests intentional or automated manipulation, not normal reporting errors.
These vote tampering issues are repeated and significant and must be formally investigated and reviewed under state and federal election laws including record by record reconciliation and correction if necessary.
Unite4Freedom’s broader election analysis of official records in 35 states identifying apparent violations of election law are summarized in our State Election Validity Scorecards. In addition to apparent violations in registration and voting, these reports demonstrate that there is not one state where the certified election tally (ballots counted) matches the number of voters recorded as having voted in the election.
Our research has been used in multiple federal lawsuits, and we are continuing to pursue transparency and legitimacy based on our findings.
“Valid elections are guaranteed in the Constitution and are the foundation of our Republic,“ says Haury. “Citizens have a right to demand accuracy. If elections are not accurate, then who is ultimately selecting our representatives?”
