This was a failure of the people who agreed to the protocols and procedures, nothing else. They didn't understand how widespread the corruption was and didn't consider that the Board of Selectmen for Windham would be in on the steal. They could have easily had the language necessary to prevent who was picked to audit these machines. They were all from the same company and that company had conflicts of interest. They conducted the audit in the most opaque manner possible and it was being run by the Asst AG, against the intent of the agreement. So the whole deal was one big clusterfuck from the get go and the people who were pushing the hardest for this audit were the ones who got tricked into an agreement that allowed the AG to rig it.
