Whew, elections are now secure. All good folks, no thousands of mules to be seen, back to work!

Fact: in 2024, the House majority was decided by just 7,309 votes across three districts (#IA01, #CO08 and #PA07) out of 148 million votes cast nationwide.
For comparison: in 2022, the House majority was decided by 6,675 votes across five narrowly GOP-won districts (#CA13, #CO03, #IA03, #MI10 and #NY17), and in 2020 it was decided by 31,751 votes across five narrowly Dem-won districts (#IL14, #IA03, #NJ07, #TX15 and #VA07).

Unless you live in PA where laws were ignored and policy made up at the whim of the board chair.
"Democratic board chair Neil Makhija voted to accept the ballots so that voters would not be disenfranchised. But other members of the board, including one Democrat and a Republican, voted to reject the ballots on the advice of county attorneys who determined the law clearly states they should not be counted.
"We’re talking about constitutional rights and I cannot take an action to throw out someone’s ballot that is validly cast, otherwise, over an issue that we know ... is immaterial," Makhija said during Thursday's meeting. The board ultimately voted to count a total of 501 contested ballots.
Similar disputes over hundreds of votes have played out in Bucks, Chester and Delaware Counties.

How does counting valid votes undermine election security?

Were the votes valid? Valid meaning meeting the standards per the laws of PA elections?
The segment posted is unclear. It discusses votes the chairman wanted counted that everyone else voted not to. Then it discussed some 500 or so contested votes that were accepted. It's not clear from the clip whether or not those are the same group of votes or if there were two, groups ,one of which was turned down for a different reason than the ones accepted.
