Election hack

 

Bookworm Room (a/k/a Andrea Widburg) has a posting on what computer experts did or did not know about the hacking of the 2020 election.  The article is here.  Reader Pat posted this comment:

Perhaps there was manipulation of vote totals by hackers and there were observed odd changes to vote totals being displayed by networks on election eve. I recall Bookworm Room blogged on this. However, I think most of the manipulation was done using fake mail-in ballots in the early hours of November 4th. We have the sworn affidavit of a USPS contractor who shipped as many as 288,000 completed ballots from New York to Pennsylvania. The FBI interviewed the contractor but treated him as the suspect. We have video of poll workers in Georgia pulling boxes of ballots out of hiding and counting them, sometimes multiple times, without any observers present. GWP obtained video of two van loads of ballot boxes being unloaded at the TCF center in Detroit. We have witnesses who saw piles of mail-in ballots that showed no signs that they were folded and, in some cases, with a vote for Biden and no one else. Another witness saw piles in exact serial number order, a statistical impossibility. In the battleground states, counting was paused late on election night, when Trump was leading, and then we saw dumps of hundreds of thousands of votes that overwhelmingly favored Biden. If these were genuine mail-in ballots, the distribution should have matched the earlier patterns - a Trump lead. Seems to me that the counting pauses were required so the Dems could figure out how many ballots they needed to give Biden a plausible win.

Audits should focus on the ballots themselves, assuming they haven't been illegally shredded.

It is appalling that all this is still not resolved.
