1. Did you know that this isn't the first time Georgia's Dominion voting machines crashed or suffered a "glitch?"
The same thing happened a few months ago in September.

2. "Election officials initially thought they would have to rebuild the database but then discovered they could fix the problem through a software change"
How the hell do you go from a completely corrupted and unusable database to just needing a software update?

3. And in September Eric Coomer (yes that guy) told  U.S. District Judge Amy Totenberg  that the problem had to do with the way the voting machines communicate with the underlying Android operating system. He told Totenberg "a minor software change" would address the issue.

4. Did you catch what he said?
He said "underlying android operating system"
So you're telling me Dominion uses a Google operating system. The same Google that manipulates search results to favor Democrats. That Google?
Nothing to see here.

5. "The new software will have to be tested and approved by a third-party vendor, and then state election officials will have to load it onto 159 USB drives to be delivered to the counties"

6. So you're telling me there were randos all around the state of Georgia carrying who knows what loaded onto 159 USB drives and injecting the software payload into voting machines, had to literally reprogram the machines7 and no one thought it the least bit suspicious?

7. Did the state have to recertify these voting machines?
Did they even have the expertise to know exactly what happened?
Is there an audit log of who recertified what and on what basis?

8. “I mean, this is a mountain. It is not a mole hill,” David Cross, a lawyer representing several of the voters who filed the lawsuit, told judge Totenberg.

9. In a written declaration filed by the activists, J. Alex Halderman, a University of Michigan professor and a leading expert on election security, said “in complex computerized systems like Georgia’s election equipment, ......"

10. "..last-minute changes, even seemingly small ones, can introduce serious and difficult-to-foresee consequences. A change now would not leave enough time for rigorous testing and security measures, and..."

11. “....would provide an attractive vector for attackers seeking to spread malware,” he wrote.

Amazing isn't it?

12. In case you missed it. Here's what just happened 👇

13. In September Election officials in one county told them that, during preelection testing, the tabulation of absentee ballots did not work at all. And in another county, there was a problem with write-in candidates.
Verbatim from this article.

14. The explanation offered by Bryan Tyson, an attorney representing the state of Georgia:
"A 'misunderstanding' on the part of the local election officials and the other because a write-in candidate who has a number in his name while there are only letters on the keyboard"

15. In case you missed it:
The problems inherent in electronic systems, their vulnerabilities and ties to foreign actors was masterfully expounded upon by a Democrat 10 years ago. And we're still doing nothing while numbnuts with 159 USB drives run amok.
