I understand what they are supposed to be, but how did Mike get his hands on them? And how does he know what he has are legit?
To go along with that, does he have anyway of proving these are legit captures? or is that what this is supposed to prove?

Good explanation and I usually do just the mailing thing with the addresses as the header and such, but you went a step further with the encryption. I've always felt explaining the encryption part would be too much for anyone to understand when they're trying to understand how packet capturing is done.
However, I think OP's question (as well as mine) is how did Lindell obtain the pcaps from all of the servers? It probably was done internally but would most likely get caught if they were running a packet sniffer like Wireshark so it might have been done externally, like connecting to the router, but to have pcaps of EVERY server? That's insane and requires a lot of manpower so how did Lindell get them all?
If they were able to connect to the routers to do pcaps, they should know the passwords to the routers, which means they knew the election officials also know what the passwords are.
I don't think Mike has said where they came from or how they were obtained. I've always thought it sure sounds like a military operation with a lot more access than average people have.
