Lie Detectors don't; Christine Basey Ford passing one means nothing

It's an urban legend that lie detectors can actually tell if people are lying.  All a lie detector does is monitor certain types of biological activity and see if they change when people answer questions.

Lie detectors are so unreliable that they're not allowed in trials and that the infamous spy Aldrich Ames managed to pass several.

What lie detectors are useful for is getting people to talk.  Fearing being "caught" by the machine they will say things they would otherwise lie about.

However for that to work the person administering the exam has to want to catch the person being tested in a lie.

Something that doesn't happen in a friendly polygraph test.  Christine Basey Ford's lawyer arranged to have her client polygraphed.  Hence the person running the test had every incentive to not find that Christine Basey Ford was lying and no incentive to find that she was lying.

Given that Christine Basey Ford's lawyer, left wing radical Debra Katz, has said that she doesn't have to corroborate her claims it's clear that Katz is not interested in the truth only in ensuring that the Supreme Court stays leftist and activist.

So saying that Christine Basey Ford passed a poly is no more significant than Debra Katz saying that she believes that Christine Basey Ford is telling the truth.
