“a group of prominent computer scientists and election lawyers”
Were they somewhat prominent, modestly prominent or exceptionally prominent?
It matters /s
whatever
A lawyer is not a scientist.
Liars, damned Liars and commies...!
“Computer scientist” is something that has been thrust onto the public, much like “fake news” has in the last few days.
We are all familiar with computer science, have known majors in that field, never regarded them as scientists. I did look up “computer scientist” on Wikipedia, where it was supposedly hashed over; did not read it. It is a stretch. Scientists and mathematicians use computers, like anyone else, as a tool. Therefore, there is bound to exist, somewhere, a hammer scientist.
Likely a group of millennial hackers, self describing themselves as computer experts.
