My gut impression is that this log-laundering is somewhat unrelated to the 74,000 variance in votes sent out versus those sent back.
That can’t be altered by laundering a log the way they did.
What the person was trying to hide by altering that specific log is who was logged on and doing what tasks in the weeks leading up to Nov. 3, 2020 and the weeks after.
This would hide evidence of who was adjudicating ballots that were unable to be correctly read by the scanners, and who was validating signatures.
NOTE: Mail in ballots must, by law undergo a validation where the signature on the returned ballot is matched to the signature on file in the computer system (likely an EV32 entry is my guess). This is called validation, and all mail in ballots drop into this bucket and must be electronically signed by an official validator using their own account. Furthermore, if the ballot is unclear and the selected candidate cannot be discerned clearly, it falls into an “Adjudication” queue, where an official logged in election worker (logged in with their own username and not an admin account as described) looks at each ballot and validates what candidate it the votes should be applied to. When that is done, it leaves the “adjudication” queue and then drops into the “validation” queue to be matched against a signature. What is important to remember here is this:
BOTH VALIDATION AND ADJUDICATION CAN BE DONE IN A BATCH. THEY CAN SIMPLY BE SELECTED IN A LARGE GROUP AND EITHER VALIDATED OR ADJUDICATED FOR ONE CANDIDATE OR ANOTHER. YES, THIS IS AN ENABLED FUNCTION AND CAN BE DONE BY ANY VALIDATOR OR ADJUDICATOR, DEPENDING ON WHICH QUEUE THEY ARE WORKING ON.
I believe the evidence of that 74,000 discrepancy still exists, and there is no way at this time for them to destroy it, so they are going to have to explain it. Which they won’t be able to, is my guess.
I need to qualify my remarks-I must sound as if I know all about these Dominion Democracy Suite EMS systems and am an expert on them, and I am not.
However, I have worked for decades in systems that store millions of images and distribute them to queues for people to work on and perform tasks on. And I know these systems quite well.
I found this image below online (and apparently originated with Dominion) that describes a typical Dominion Democracy Suite EMS system, and it nearly exactly mirrors the types of systems I have worked with, so to reverse engineer it is not that much of a stretch for me. It looks nearly exactly the same, right down to the polling machines and ballot scanners that send images to the system.
My systems and the Dominion systems are nearly identical not only in form and construction, but in function.
