“ What could these packets, if they could ever be decrypted and understood, possibly tell us that the existing audit won’t?”
The packets show network traffic between US based voting systems and China and other countries. That’s a big deal, right?
It might be if the audits reveal a big discrepancy between the original counts in real time and the audited/recounted totals.
If the recounts and audits come up with the same numbers as the original count the network traffic seems moot.
