Problem
You have been asked to investigate claims of election fraud in Frederick County, Virginia involving certain types of election equipement. Your first step is to gather information about the equipment that was actually used in this jurisdiction.
Using the interactive map provided by Verified Voting, find the type of Election Day Equipment and Mail Ballot Equipment used in Frederick County in 2020 and expected to be used in 2024. Do not include Early Vote Equipment, as it is usually the same as Election Day Equipment. Provide the results in tabular format, as shown in the example below, which reports data for a different county.
Repeat the search for 2016 and provide the results in the same tabular format. In a short paragraph, discuss the differences you notice between 2016 and 2024, and whether the following claim can be considered credible: "The 2020 election results in Frederick County are not valid becuase DREs from ES&S were hacked."
Finally, compare the Virginia maps for 2016 and 2024 (include screenshots of the two maps), and discuss the major difference you see between the two maps.
