if they don't will they say they did anyway?
After spending a week or so fighting to get passwords, the Audit team has announced that the voting machines' database was wiped a few days before the handoff.
why do they need the database? the hardware and software is all right there. they have the ballots. they are inventing reasons for you to be upset.
If I understand correctly, when there is a problem with a ballot, the machines can throw an error and ask for a manual adjudication.
It keeps an image of the ballot and how it was adjudicated.
If some poll worker decided to, ahem, "fortify" the election by feeding a slanted batch of ballots through an extra time or two and overriding any errors, there would be a record, and fewer physical ballots than there are supposed to be.
im curious about whats going to happen when that audit in arizona is done. will they manage to find anything substantial? if they don't will they say they did anyway? if they have to suck it up and say the results appear legitimate is everybody who helped spread that lie going to apologize for taking part in the attack on democracy? or should we just forget about that and sweep it under the rug.
