Powell’s problem is that she’s never been able to explain how a vote-rigging computer can alter the outcome of an election when a hand count of paper ballots will easily expose the fraud.

Suppose I vote in a precinct where 600 people voted for Trump and 400 voted for Biden. The software “rigs” the result so that it shows 600 votes for Biden and 400 for Trump ... or it deletes 400 Trump votes so that Biden wins by a 400-200 margin.

How does any of this work if there were 1,000 PAPER ballots used in this election that still exist after they are run through the scanner?

I don’t doubt that machines/computers/software like Dominion have been used to rig elections. I’m also pretty sure that this was done primarily in elections done entirely by machine where NO paper ballots were used — which is not the case in most of the U.S.

Sidney Powell is falling out of favor among many of Trump’s supporters because she seems to be basing many of her allegations on a complete misunderstanding of how the process works.

Most of the time “hand recounts” really aren’t what they sound like or imply. They are just feeding ballots through the machines again and getting tallies, then adding tallies together. In small precincts where actual hand recounts are reasonable to perform in short time-frames you might see it done as you would expect. In cases where there are hundreds of thousands of ballots to count, which include numerous down-ballot races and other local items, well, it should take hundreds of workers several days to weeks to actually perform a proper hand recount.

Since when does the truth depend on whether one is or is not “fallen out of favor?”

I'll go a bit further. The writer breathlessly says

Even Rudy Giuliani, the President’s attorney, and Mark Meadows, the President’s Chief of Staff, seem hellbent on publicly keeping their distance from Powell -- and on keeping President Trump from getting too close to or aligned with Powell.

You are really saying Trump is weak, and being manipulated by Giuliani and Meadows. Huh?

Now, we all agree that Trump isn't an idiot (though his AG picks aren't a strong suit). We also acknowledge that, having worked in real estate in NewYork, he probably can pick out the charlatans from across the room.

Along comes Powell. Ok...she clearly has chutzpah and isn't afraid. But any attorney realizes part of a high-profile case is the public dimension, and she utterly failed in delivering that dimension. Her word-choice and interviews let the word Kracken to be turned into a club to be used to bludgeon herself by the enemies.

Maybe she's a good attorney - so is Dershowitz. But he flew on the Lolita express and is a rabid pro-abortion and anti-2nd Amendment guy...surely SOMEWHERE in the US we can find SOMEONE better than him. Same with Powell.

When that announcement came out that Powell wasn't part of Trump's official team, I was heartened. My guess is he saw what was happening and some other things behind the scenes, and cut his losses. Maybe she's competent, but he realized she was a liability.

I fully recognize the powers that are stacked against Trump and that state legislatures have failed the voters. If Joe is seated, it won't be for lack of effort. But I suspect part of the post-mortem will reveal Powell to not be as good as many believe.
