Obviously you understand a lot of that better than I do but it was pretty alarming not only that it happened but that it could even happen in the first place. When Judge Totenberg called Dominion's voting system "deeply flawed" it was a vast understatement.
It is a deliberately written piece of crap software that should have never passed any accreditation for use in elections.
Let's forget all the 'tech talk' and look at this from a common sense, logical approach.
- What is the point of processes if you don't follow them?
- Why certify a voting ecosystem if it is going to be changed between certification and the election?
- Why use voting equipment that is so readily/easily manipulated?
I don't care if it was human error, bad actor, or whatever. Your only job is to design, develop, and deliver a solution to process and secure election results. They want to ***** and moan about "proprietary software" when people want to see WTF is going on, but they apparently give two ****s about allowing anyone and everyone to perform administrative functions with zero way to audit that activity.
Even if you, for whatever reason, have to "reset" or "reactivate" any of the systems, the original data should be marked as read-only and left intact in its current state. Then a separate database marked as the 2nd iteration....and so on.
Nothing with the election process follows any sort of compliance, governance, or auditable process. It is disgusting.
