Can you find any website or document that validates that these "random audits" are done? By whom and on what cadence? I've not been able to find anything like this. Just hand-waving, assertions that "someone does something," and so on.

If you don't trust risk-limitjng audits, you're never gonna trust any voting system. Someone has to administer the system, do the counting, sum up the totals, etc.

Asking these kind of questions, and authorities being able to answer them clearly, is essential to build and maintain trust.

Colorado requires automatic risk-limiting audits on its election systems: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Risk-limiting_audit

(Taking a bit more pointed tone than I usually would, because of the amount of misinformation around this general topic and because of annoyance at people putting less effort in than election workers, from secretaries of state down to volunteers, and casting shade from the laziness of their armchair. Thank you to all the people spending their time trying to secure elections!)

Did you try searching for "colorado voting audit"?

There's a page on their SOS site... https://coloradosos.gov/pubs/elections/auditCenter.html

Which even has a YouTube video on the process... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oKgSKh4utNo
