Oh boy.
I was going to post earlier that a 'glitch' i.e. 'bug' in software doesn't cause an orderly re-assignment of 6k ballots to the opponent. Software bugs cause things normally to do something chaotic like show error messages or totally break. Rarely does it cause something 'orderly and neatly wrong' to happen - unless it's by design or wasn't QA'd at all.
For example, when your printer drivers are f'd up ... what happens is, your printer doesn't work, won't print. When was the last time your printer broke and the symptom was that it printed red where blue should have been? That would be an orderly but wrong thing. 99 out 100 times a bug causes a thing to simply not work or get errors or get hung up. That's because disturbances to form are usually chaos ... not 'wrong but orderly.' It's why most mutations in species cause the mutant to die pretty quickly.
It COULD happen, but doesn't pass the smell test. It certainly doesn't pass the smell test if the pattern looks more like an algorithm's behavior, INCLUDING something made to look random to mask it but orderly in the expression of each random individual event.
I REALLY REALLY hope Trump's popularity and the extra pressure he put on the dems by his end of campaign marathon push put so much pressure on them to commit more fraud than they wanted, quickly, hence more RISKY fraud (day-before updates to software?) ... that he forced them to make a mistake, i.e. get greedy ... like a bank robber lingering in the vault too long because he realized he needed 10 million instead of 500K.

An excellent and well-thought out post. I sure hope you’re right!
It takes deliberate coding to tell the machine to randomly switch Rs to Ds.
