    I think you’d be best served by doing all due diligence and proving this to be the case before approaching media. A lawyer would be if you were harmed, so if your vote was not counted, then you were harmed. There also needs to be a known plaintiff, though, so you need a lot of data for that step. You can’t simply use conjecture for legal proceedings, which is why Trump lost or rendered null every case he filed in 2020.

      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 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.
