The Left attacks the voting process on all fronts, No stone is unturned, and tampering with hardware to achieve a fraudulent result is de rigueur.
The forensic analysis done in Antrim County in Michigan after the 2020 election showed that in various precincts in the county, 68% of scanned ballots failed to be read (with a failure rate of 90% in at least one county) and the failed scanned ballot images had to be shunted to an adjudication queue, where humans had to manually view them and assign them to various candidates.
If my memory serves me correctly, the critical log files showing the adjudication process (what logged in user adjudicated what votes, for whom, and at what date and time) on the Dominion servers were...gone. Missing. Deleted.
But they did not delete the log file that showed the optical scanning errors. (They probably didn’t know it was there, or thought it was unimportant)
And in the log file on the scanning process, they could see the results clearly for successful and unsuccessful scan attempts, resulting in the failed scanned ballots being shunted into the adjudication queue. That gave them the 68% failure rate.
The Federal Election Commission allows a maximum error rate of just 0.0008 percent for computerized voting systems.
Furthermore, the cause was found to be anything ranging from gunk on the lens of the optical scanner (which as anyone knows who has to work with a lot of document scanners as I have...can happen) to the lens of the scanner being out of adjustment.
I found that “out of adjustment” reason to be interesting. Hardware adjustment, or software adjustment? They did not specify. But suspicious minds would wonder about that. If there is a calibration file for a printer (especially very expensive, purpose-built, high end document scanners such as these) then someone could manually edit that calibration file. Even edit it remotely.
Obviously, a hardware setting such as a manual adjustment screw which would require manipulation and then verification via testing that the optics were back within specifications would be harder to do, but...not impossible.
That would render the optics unable to correctly read the scanned document, resulting in a failure.
Glad you brought up Antrim County. The population there is relatively sparse and everyone knew right away something was seriously wrong; they immediately audited their results and logged the errors. Dominion machine people were not there; they came flying in ready with tales of fabricated anomalies and agreed to all corrections.
They then quickly locked all their machines in the country and prohibited any auditing of machines. Anyone questioning the validity of the machines was sued for huge $$$.
As far as I know, Antrim County is the only documented forensic study of machine errors in 2020. Dominion, and other similar machines, has not allowed any forensic study of their machines or their software. Antrim County is the only example - and it is damning.
