    A lawyer would be if you were harmed

    A lawyer can also help guide you through the legal and procedural issues. Lawyers are not for just if you are harmed.

    It would probably also help you a bit more with legitimacy, if you can get a known lawyer helping you… Cause any crank can make a claim, but a known lawyer wont risk their reputation/license/job on happenstance with little evidence.

        I mean if it’s literally 500 vs 50, maybe whomever was updating the website reporting the votes probably typo’ed and hit enter before they hit the last zero.

        I think your best bet would be to go to the local Democratic party. You don’t have the cash to contest this; they do. They also (depending on the local laws) probably have local officials on the local elections boards, so they are in the best position to evaluate your claims. There may be a simple explanation…

        Pointless.

        You’d need 500 signed affidavits to be taken seriously. Anyone can just forge a signature. Affidavits are signed under oath, under penalty of law.
