Watching a rumble with Stephanie Lambert, Michigan attorney (she's also up on sanction charges) and she is talking about how a letter went out (not sure from whom) that directed local election officials that the election servicer would be coming to "change out batteries" and that the local election officials did NOT need to be present during this "routine servicing."

But she called one of her cyber experts (former NSA cyber guy) to ask what effects, if any would changing out the batteries on the machines have? His response was that there are other functions including memory devices that are solely on the battery power so removal and replacement of them would wipe those memories from those functions.

You are my IT go-to guy here. Could that be correct?

Holy cow. Hit $2 Milagro shot night so I just saw this.

I will do some digging into the Michigan machines, but what he said could be correct. Just like a PC, anything being stored in RAM would be lost unless written to internal storage first. I would think there would be a process for this prior to shutting down a system. (similar to saving changes to your spreadsheet before shutting your PC down).

If this was done during the election, why? Why wouldn't these machines all be fully serviced and ready prior to go-time. If not, you still have the issue of how would this pass certification but anyone performing an audit invalidates that machine from ever being used again.

---

I don't think it's about the battery at all. They are talking about a battery that would power the printer. That's a UPS kind of battery (not a coin cell for RAM or real-time clocks). They also said a clerk doesn't need to be there.

It sounds like they want access to the machines to load new code, delete some files, remove other hardware (like M2M modems), or something else that they are trying to cover up. The batteries are a red herring IMO. They are after something else.

And electronics don't need "servicing". It's not like a car with mechanical pieces that wear out.

---

Going back to this, if your notion that the battery in question is a UPS and not the internal battery, why would you need to replace ALL of the batteries in every county? I have handled a few UPS's in my lifetime and I can assume that these, if they are backing up just one or a small number of devices as is suggested by the data provided, they are likely not much more than a consumer grade UPS. They don't need 'maintenance' and you don't replace batteries on them. If one goes bad, you throw the whole UPS away and plug in a new one. And there certainly isn't a need to do that wholesale statewide. That's ridiculous.

---

Exactly right.

(And if it's powering the printer and the computer then it's a good sized battery. It's not a little AA battery or coin cell)

Although she's required to keep the passcodes for Michigan's voting machines, MI Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson admitted in a recent interrogatory in the Antrim County case that she does not have access to the passcode (that gives access to the machines). According to Benson, only Dominion Voting machines have access to the codes, even though she's supposed to keep it in escrow and to perform regular and frequent testing. Lambert told us,"This may surprise you, but the passcode used in Antrim County, Michigan, was 1,2,3,4,5,6."

Why is Dominion Voting Machine subcontractor Election Source running our elections and did they have remote access to the machines during and after the election?

"What the evidence shows, and what the clerks have told us is that they [Election Source] are essentially running the elections." Lambert told us, adding, "Really, it's the vendor that has all of the control" of the elections. The vendor has access to the election management system and can remotely access it. So, really, what we're finding is that the vendors that were not elected by the American people are controlling our elections." We asked, "Did they, in fact, access the machines?"Stefanie responded, "We have proof of that in Michigan. We have anonymous logins and we have proof that Election Source was accessing machines and that the election was subverted."

Ms. Lambert dropped yet another bombshell, "There was a person by the name of Jennifer Bowers that was an executive at Dominion until 2019. She is now in charge at the EAC of determining who should be certified and which company should come out and check the election machines and certify them. So in my opinion, we essentially now have Dominion watching Dominion."

So, if the batteries aren't necessary, why is Election Source going around to all of the city offices and changing them? According to Stefanie Lambert, changing the batteries causes them to erase all microelectronic memory in the machines. We talked to an assistant city clerk tonight in Michigan who told us Election Source came to their office yesterday and changed their battery. He also told us they ran a series of ballots through their machine while they were there to "change the battery."

Another thing: Democrats may appreciate what Sterling did last week, but they haven't gotten along with him in the past, and they certainly won't in the future. Within Raffensperger's office, Sterling has been the enforcer when it comes to relationships with county election offices.

While the Nov. 3 election was surprisingly smooth, his battles with election officials in Fulton and other counties in the aftermath of a chaotic June 9 primary were epic.

"I'm an operations guy. There are times in any operations where people in those positions there can be carrots and there can be sticks," Sterling said. "A lot of the counties, they didn't appreciate tough love, but they're appreciative of it now. I was the one who came up with the grant programs to defer some of these costs."

I can't find a direct source for which grants he is referring to, but it has to be either the Dominion cross-bred EAC grants or Zuckbucks I would think. In either case he is bedfellows with some questionable people.

As many cameras that are in government offices nowadays, has anyone requested copies of that video footage to see exactly who the person was that took this action? I understand that they could have forged their credentials, but there should be pretty clear pictures of the person that took this action.

So they believe their hand count is 100% accurate. Hopefully the third party hardware count matches the hand recount and the count that is wrong is the one from the state and dominion.

Would be some pretty convincing evidence and I bet they get it.

Also hard to dispute that the hand recount wasn't accurate when it matches the machine count from another vendor.

aggiehawg said:

In case this is getting too confusing one thing now stands out, the election day count was very, very wrong. That is not the starting point here. Between the same batches being scanned multiple times but the images are not even backing up the election day count. That means the ballots were using the QR codes to register the votes for the scanners to read, doesn't it? And not the actual bubbles?

That implicates Dominion machines, right?

---

Belay the above transmission. Forgot we are talking absentee ballots and only absentee ballots. There would be no QR code on them since they are not being generated by a BMD.

Brain fart on my part.

Well this is coming from two separate committees. Maloney's may not have oversight but Raskind chairs the civil rights committee. He signed the letter as well.

But I'm going to go out on a limb here and say I'm fairly sure they knew their communications would be demanded by someone at sometime so they have cached them into a database that got updated on a daily basis. So producing much of that stuff might be as simple as hitting "Print" or "Send."

But Maloney has to be careful here. She was all about election integrity until November 3, 2020. Her letters of inquiry, including directly to Dominion and Sequoia before Dominion acquired them are public records.

ETA: Thought about something else. I don't know what their contract with state Senate says. There may be something in that agreement that gives the state Senate some sort of say in what gets released and doesn't get released and when. So, this might be a call for Senator Fann.
