elections are conducted on the state level. the general manner in which they are conducted is mostly up to the individual states. states cannot classify evidence of cheating in state elections as secret in the federal level sense. jack smith is prosecuting in a federal trial. so perhaps it is a jurisdiction thing and neither smith nor the judge have any ability to claim that the defense evidence is classified. or perhaps they can attempt to make such claims but the claims won’t hold water due to jurisdictional considerations alone (which if the reasoning holds, should be sufficient to allow filing). (or, i could be wrong somehow...)

i suppose the info could be classified if it crossed international boundaries and/or involved actions of adverse foreign agents.
however, trump could avoid that by having declassified such evidence in advance. hopefully if that is the case, he would have declassified it contemporaneously in writing, and saved the appropriately dated paperwork, which if true might indeed constitute 5D chess...
