You appear to be right on that. However:
The SLI Compliance report specifically state that they didn’t examine USB connections.
Neither did an actual ballot examination.
I don’t know what happened or how, but when so many people are scrambling to hide and obfuscate, I figure there must be something going on.
I wouldn’t trust the Maricopa County Elections Department as far as I could throw them. Though I would enjoy doing some empirical testing. (To be fair, that goes for most of the Senate too.)
I read the opposite. The appeared to examine USB connections in in their item 4 for all the types of machines.
4) USB history, to determine if there were any unauthorized wireless or USB ethernet devices plugged in and to determine if the systems were connected to an unauthorized network connection via a USB device
I wouldn’t trust the Maricopa County Elections Department as far as I could throw them.
Why? The Republicans that run the county elections don't appear to be Biden supporters. And even if all of them hated Trump for some reason, it doesn't make sense that they would want democrats to win the Senate seats. In any case they didn't do the audits.
