Okay, fair enough. I think we agree that the GA SOS ordered something that was meaningless in the grand scheme of detecting election fraud in its myriad forms. Perhaps what his “risk limiting audit” did was successfully verify the Dominion machines operated as expected, although I’m still not entirely convinced and won’t be until a forensic audit on the code happens. The whole lack of an audit log intrinsic to these machines worries me as do anecdotes about election officials scanning weird barcodes on the Dominion-printed ballots. We’ve held elections without computerized gadgets for most of our history and should not fix or obfuscate what isn’t broken.
Dominion is what it is. With so much other crap going on in GA and elsewhere, I’ve always found this line of attack to be unnecessary, unwieldy, and a bit too far-fetched to be effective under these time-sensitive circumstances (not impossible to conceive of, however). There are clear and provable Constitutional violations created by rogue state government actors; these should be the focus. This is why I prefer Lin’s lawsuit to Sidney’s. At this point, I don’t think we need to prove Trump got 80 million votes; all we need to prove is when the LEGAL votes are counted he received more than Biden in a few of the contested states.
How are you feeling about the legitimacy of the GA Senate runoffs? They are definitely a source of angst in my mind.
I'm not feeling good about the Senate runoffs. My concern is because all of my connections have lost confidence in the system and they do nothing but cheering the "Hail Mary's" at this point. If we lose the Senate seats it will be because of all this election fraud stuff. People, maybe even those from Georgia in this thread, will think better of voting at all. Meanwhile, Stacey keeps signing up the Absentee Ballot Requests.
I know we have a 9 justice SCOTUS currently, and I like the content. I can't grasp how folks seemingly are ready to discount the whole system when we are the ones running it, at least in Georgia and at the US Senate. But to me, if it were only a financial thing, my money would be on Stacey at this point. That is the sad reality of my mind on the matter.
