I weighed not posting this, but I’m going to.
I read the Dominion servers were first ordered left alone by a judge, and then that that order was rescinded. This was of course disappointing, but then I reflected on it, and from everything I have read, the audit trail was likely erased while the votes were being altered. So they would not have much if anything even if they had been grabbed tonight.
There are two factors that need to be addressed, though. First, is it POSSIBLE both to alter votes and to erase the audit trail? Yes or no. We need to know this, as the answer appears to be yes. And if yes, from the records we have, can we correlated suspected accessing of the servers with voting pattern anomalies? I suspect we can.
Secondly, these things are at root computers, are they not? And if you delete something in a computer it is not really deleted. It takes a forensic specialist to find the deleted stuff, but it can be done. You can retrieve data from computers that have had their hard drives fully reformatted.
This was why Hillary both used special software to “bleach” her computers, and smashed everything else. She should be in jail for that alone, but don’t get me started.
I hesitated to publish this, because they possibly have not thought of this yet, but there have to be thousands of these things all around the country. A mad dash to run Bleachbit through them would at this point surely be detected.
So overall the participation of the judge in doing anything starting to be intelligent and responsible, even if their courage failed with the first phone call from one of the crooks, is still gratifying.
There is hope. America is not yet overflowing with lunatics, even if they are screaming as loud as they can from most of the soapboxes on the internet and cable systems.
I bought Marcus Aurelius’ Meditations yesterday. I think it is going to quickly become my favorite self help book.
