But really bothers me is that people can't distinguish between "most secure" and "least fraud". These are orthogonal statements. It's like the most secure bank against armed robbers, with thick steel vaults, is not secure against embezzlement.
The statement is a vague response to vague accusations. I mean, that's entirely appropriate. If you vaguely say "something must've happened", then it's good to make clear "probably not".
That's all that we have right now -- vague innuendo from the Trump camp, with nothing substantive.
Now, if Trump were to find some concrete evidence, then this claim would be insufficient.
I'm sure we all (well, most of this) are going to be adult about this, if ever substantive evidence comes to light, but I wanted to point this out: we aren't saying that no evidence of computer problems can be found, only that's so far it's just conspiracy theory evidence.

1/ Tonight, we are going to discuss an accusation that vote tabulators in Michigan were connected to the Internet, made by a local radio show guy named Randy Bishop. His first hand testimony is here:
2/ The short answer is that no, he didn't see any Internet connection. He saw normal, expected operation of the machines. This is just an example how everything you can't explain is explained by the conspiracy.
3/ What he saw was Ethernet cables connected to a "router", connected to another "router", and then a cable going through a wall.
I have lost my iPhone. I'm certain it's here at home somewhere, but it's run away and hid itself. It's been two days and I'm going crazy.
Twitter is good for the soul. Get it off your chest. Inspires a whole new search from the start, from the place I normally put the phone. Hmm, there's a box there that doesn't belong, I should put that away .... oh looks what's underneath it.
Consistently, the best way to solve any problem is to explain it to somebody else. No, their comments won't help -- but it forces you to re-think through your problem.
We are past the point of Trump's team making "unsubstantiated" claims of voter fraud. We are now at the point of Trump's team substantiating their claims with lies.
They used this guy's tool and totally lied about what it's results meant.
I'm watching Phil Waldron testimony in Arizona. I'm a couple hours into it and, as I an expert, it looks like complete garbage.
A good example is this point: the "SpiderFoot" graph doesn't show what he claims, it's wildly misrepresented.
He cites the SharpieGate conspiracy theory. Um, the new ballots for 2020 are no longer affected by bleedthrough. They generate fewer error ballots, not more.
As far as I can tell, at no point does he claim that Maricopa Dominion machines were connected to the Internet talking to Germany. Instead, that's the conclusion people reached from disconnected pieces of testimony.
Among the reasons is that in some cases, the question is that of the rights of voters. It's the voters who have standing, not the candidate for whom they voted.
Among the problems is that the relief that Trump seeks is to throw out the votes of millions of people. Those millions of people have standing.
1/ In case you were wondering: Apple's replacement for Intel processors turns out to work really, really well. Some otherwise skeptical techies are calling it "black magic". It runs Intel code extraordinarily well.
2/ The basic reason is that Arm and Intel architectures have converged. Yes, the instruction sets are different, but the underlying architectural issues have become very similar.
3/ The biggest hurdle was "memory-ordering", the order in which two CPUs see modifications in memory by each other. It's the biggest problem affecting Microsoft's emulation of x86 on their Arm-based "Surface" laptops.
