THE AI FILES / DRAWER 041BALLOTS → COURTS → THE ARCHIVE

A DRAWER. FULL GUIDES. THEIR RECORD.

The Elections
Files.

Controversies tied to elections — recounts, electors, litigation, and campaign-era fights. This is a topic collection: the 2000 guide nests here; other major cases that already live under Trump or Clinton are cross-linked as pointers to those maintained records. No duplicated deep guides. This page is not a verdict board.

FULL GUIDES INSIDE THIS DRAWER

Folders in the drawer.
Full AI Files topics.

Each card is a manila folder tab into a nest gateway. Live guides open as maintained records; forthcoming tabs stay empty until those guides ship. Pointers send you to a guide that already lives under another hub.

CONTEXT BEFORE CONTROVERSY

What this drawer covers.

Organizational collection — not a mega fact-check page.

CYCLE BY CYCLE

What belongs here

Documented election controversies with primary-source spines. Each guide or pointer states which cycle and which hub owns the maintained record.

NO DOUBLE BOOKS

Pointers, not copies

Fake electors, Georgia, January 6, 2016 campaign, and Russia-origins fights already have full guides under Trump or Clinton. This drawer links to them; it does not rewrite them.

CASE GATEWAYS / NEST INDEX

Case gateways.
Full guides above first.

Permanent nest URLs. When a full guide publishes, the nest becomes a maintained-record gateway pointing at it.

6 NEST GATEWAYS / 1 LIVE / 5 POINTERS / 0 FORTHCOMING

HOW TO READ THIS COLLECTION

Follow the evidence.
Keep the distinctions.

Each story stands alone.

Nesting guides in one drawer does not make their conclusions interchangeable.

Primary sources first.

Court records, FOIA, agency files, and contemporaneous documents on the spine. Commentary is labeled.

Rival critical paths.

Each full guide maps rival paths against what the record must accept or reject.

A dated AI experiment.
