Depends on your background and what you are looking for.
There are many sources, but it depends or technical knowledge, or ease with statistics. And it also depends on which states you are inspecting.
There is also a lot of misinformation about there by both republicans and democrats. The republicans tend to use batshit conspiracy ideas: they are careful to not address the real issues. And the democrats will insist everything is fine. Finally some sources try to investigate things they do not understand.
If you are looking for a general introduction to the subject, and avoid the above, and do not have comfort with stats, computer systems etc, then you may be disappointed.
If you do stats, then
It’s safest to just pull the exit poll data yourself from the states of your choice. However most national press outlets stopped using exit polls after 2018 because they predicted wrong winners too often.
Many states have precinct data to use for other tests, like looking for patterns of ballots per candidate vs precinct size. Some websites pop in and out of existence over the years analyzing those.
If you have tech knowledge there were conventions of hackers.
If you are a programmer or systems admin I can give my opinions about general issues.
I literally said it’s a complex topic, many have discussed it, but you would need to know computers or stats. You don’t seem to have those skills, so you will need to take it on faith from others.
Ask yourself, do you feel comfortable not understanding how democracy works in your country? To have no clue how the votes are counted?
It should not be that way. Democracy should be understandable by fifth graders, with paper ballots and witnesses. You should not have to seek answers to understand how it works.
I do have a decent amount of those skills(I use arch Linux and host my own services and statistics is pretty simple) but you just aren’t giving me anything to show those stats or use those skills.
I think the system should be open source but counting ballots by hand is idiotic and a waste of time and money. I do have a decent clue of how they are counted it’s just they are counted by a computer and put into a database nothing super complicated.
I don’t think a fifth grader should be able to understand exactly how votes are counted. You should be able to look at the source code for the counting of votes but simplifying a system that is more efficient and faster is idiotic.

I am asking for a source that backs up your claim is there a source that backs it up?
