There will be a Dem candidate and a Rep candidate. Where is the snafu?
Those encrypted flash drives are an integral part of the process in transferring votes cast at the precincts and wherever mail-in ballots are scanned in to the centralized location where they are loaded into systems like the Dominion Democracy Suite EMS Results Tally and Reporting System which then add up all the votes and render a result.
The USB flash drives are supposed to be encrypted, and there is supposed to be a chain of custody at every single step where a handoff occurs, and someone logs who took custody of them and when. Passwords are supposed to be secure and known only by state or local governmental users who have the specific role of needing that password to accomplish their task.
All over the country, but especially in places like Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, Arizona, and Pennsylvania, in 2020, the chain of custody of those USB drives was either incomplete or non-existent, and the "secure" passwords were made available by writing them on pieces of paper taped to monitors where they could be seen by anyone and everyone.
They also gave entire groups of people who had only superficial tasks the "root" password, because...everything shared the "root" password. So people would login to do their tasks as "root". A typical foundation of a securely configured system is that permissions to do tasks are given ONLY to those who need permissions to do that task. Having the root user and root password, taped to a monitor in some cases, lets ANYONE do ANYTHING on a system, and in the log files (which in many cases are "removed" only days after the election by some locations) cannot be used to find a particular person who did a particular task.
If that sounds crazy, they even found Dominion-type systems with SQL databases that had NO password on them. Which means ANYONE with a smattering of SQL knowledge who knew the name or IP address of the database server could login to that server and get right into the database.
All of those things are why people look at this askance. Sure, this is almost certainly Democrat on Democrat election fraud, but if they do that in a primary, you can be certain they will be doing it in a week or so when the general election occurs.
