When their response to wiping the machines was that it was to protect against “malware” as though that made any fucking sense, and then blamed the machines reading folds wrong on a DMV folding machine, I knew that this “audit” was a total farce used to remove evidence.
3 hours - I have gotten through the first hour. Hursti is a windbag. I have to admit I respect Stark although he tried to float that the audit had to conform to SB43 but it was pointed out that SB43 left the details of the audit up to the auditors.
Still, that they agreed to do this podcast is a notch in their favor. They both seem knowledgeable. Wish the ASOG guy would jump in more.
What we know - one of the machines had a problem scanning ballots. All machines showed a problem dealing with vote bubbles on a fold of the ballot. The auditors admit that only a sample of the ballots were reviewed, not the entirety - Stark threw up his hands with that as he stands by it was a randomly selected sample.
I worked with Hursti after 2004...he's more legit than you know. Every state and systems are different. He's still working with the rest of us pioneers, 17 years.
Not the first stolen election and not his first rodeo.
He does not seem motivated to get to the truth, only to fulfill the simplest demands of the audit and go home. His answers on this zoom call were unnecessarily long winded. I do give him credit for appearing and answering questions as well Philip Stark. If they were really just about doing a whitewash, there was no need for them to subject themselves to the questions.
But Tom Murray (who came on around 1:40) got right to the chase - the auditors had all the power to control the audit but instead they let the AG and others insert themselves into the audit and control it. The auditors ceded their responsibilities to others. Why? They were either weak or indifferent or corrupt. I suspect a combination of the first two and not the latter.
We all need to face the fact that the people who pursued SB43 and got it passed never anticipated they would be up against a crooked AG and Board of Selectmen. Therefore they did not insist on controlling language in the agreement that would have guaranteed that their choice of auditors were selected. In short, they got rolled by these crooks, which is likely why they got an agreement to begin with. From here on out, the only way we get closure on this is if we can get another audit with uncompromised auditors, which is unlikely. This is a hard pill to swallow but these guys covered any tracks that would have uncovered fraud and now this is over as far as Windham goes.
