For those who are interested, the Dominion Voting Systems documentation

sos.state.co.us/pubs/elections…
Also:

The Smartmatic company claims no connection with Dominion but as you can see from Smartmatic's promotional material there are superficial resemblances which proves nothing.

From the documentation: "The voter comes into the polling place and checks in. The poll worker will activate an ID
card for the voter, which they will swipe on the tablet in order to bring up the correct ballot style."

Anybody know how they guarantee a valid voter list?

The loss of elite prestige was not the result of the 2016 revolt but rather its cause. Confidence in institutional integrity and competence had been declining for some time. By 2016 the prestige was nearly gone.
2020 was the chance to recoup the loss of face by inflicting a crushing, godlike defeat on the Deplorables with effortless superiority. But it was unconvincing.
The only thing that will recover lost elite prestige is the rediscovery of competence. More virtue signaling of the Woke type only makes them look like clowns.

For some reason it's important to do useless things in an organized way.
In terms of Narrative it's almost like the public is being psychologically conditioned to expect nothing in return for the gigantic economic burden they will carry to "stop" Global Warming, which as it turns out won't be stopped.

I always thought that "understand the science" was more correct than "trust the science".
"Understand the science" at least in the key things as opposed to "rational ignorance" which relies on authority to explain things beyond our supposed ken.
It would seem that as the 21st century advances there should be less reliance on rational ignorance rather than more. Why? Because with the growth of complex systems authority knows comparatively less.

One of the ways election theft is analogous to blockchain based cryptocurrency theft is that the transaction is irreversible. Once legitimacy is transferred it can't revoked. It is part of the chain.
If elections are to have even the approximate level of security of commercial security it should require a hardware security module plus PIN to cast a vote (unit of legitimacy transfer) like the familiar bank smartcard in your wallet.
It often takes a crisis to reveal a problem. Whoever one voted for it's plain to see that the current election architecture leaves a lot to be desired. That at least we can learn from 2020.

Leaving aside the question of cheating what do the elections say about our reliance on the networks? There's a saying in the cryptocurrency that attackers will spend millions to steal billions. But elections are more lucrative. Anyone who can spend millions can control trillions.
Forget the Middle Ages; we live in the new age of faith secure in our safety. But some idea of the actual danger can be gleaned from the fact that truly secure information is air-gapped, giving away no bits, not even a clue to its physical location.
It's hard to accept the degree that our daily lives depend  on the flow of invisible information.  Yet if the Internet were down your debit card couldn't buy a coffee . We don't have paper cash any more, nor even paper ballots. If we lose the network we lose it all.

The American scene remains unsettled because it is so evenly divided like a coin that landed on its edge or a  pencil standing on its tip. This unstable symmetry can "break" from the vibrations from a passing truck, a microbreeze -- anything.

Under these split conditions it is dangerous for politicians to act as if they had a "mandate" and start preparing enemies' lists or crafting titanic spending initiatives. Yet that is precisely what they have been doing.
The Cold War experience suggests catastrophe can only be avoided if both sides limit their aims and avoid overreaching. And yet the emotional momentum is all the other way. The mood is to fight, on both sides.
