Last week, 13th Circuit Judge Kevin Elsenheimer ordered the release of the forensic audit of Michigan's Dominion voting machines, but only after evidence on how the machine's algorithm corrupted the vote totals was redacted.
Michigan Democrat Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson demanded the redaction, arguing that "allowing this evidence to be exposed would amount to compelling the government election officials to incriminate themselves. As every viewer of TV courtroom dramas knows, the US Constitution's 5th Amendment protects the accused from being forced to incriminate himself. Since the only way a scheme involving corrupted vote-tabulating machines could work is through the connivance of these election officials, hiding this evidence is the only way their rights can be protected."
Russell Ramsland Jr., the analyst who led the forensic audit of the Dominion Voting Systems machines, condemned the redaction. "During our audit we saw how the algorithm was used to subvert the integrity of the vote totals," he said. "We know, as would anyone else who had been able to see what we saw, that the election was stolen. By redacting this evidence, Dominion, the company that facilitated the corruption, can continue to contend that their machines aren't capable of doing what we know they did. This feeds the untruthful meme alleging that there is no evidence of election fraud."
Benson mocked Ramsland, calling him "a sore loser. Both sides—Republicans as well as Democrats—had an equal opportunity to commit election fraud. One side took the initiative and got the job done while the other basically slept through the entire process. After-the-fact whining about how unfair the system was is a testament to the incompetence of the Republican Party. The electoral votes have already been certified. Biden will be the next president. Why should the heroes who made this happen have to face prosecution for saving the country from another four years of Trump as president?"

“Allowing Government officials to incriminate themselves”...
When these politicians & election officials participated in this wide spread fraud DELIBERATELY——THEY DID incriminate themselves.
It also qualifies as a CONSPIRACY-—was done by many with collusion.
They ALL need to pay a price.
“protects the accused from being forced to incriminate himself” does not prevent getting arrested and having the evidence seized. A drunk driver who says nothing still gets hauled in and their blood is seized as evidence. So they are being forced to provide evidence that incriminates themselves.
