It’s really a backslash. But I am trying to get that very specific question answered. Either way - Runbeck vs BOS employee - I’ve heard both - it is not a plausible explanation. 1. Because the story changed 3 times before they landed on a file name problem that put them outside the requirements for mandatory recertification. And it is a simple explanation most people understand. Then they land on “all good. We wrote policy changes to ensure this never happens again” 2. This system has been used for YEARS. And all of a sudden THIS YEAR someone decides to put a backslash in the name? 3. If we are to believe the backslash file name problem- it took Ramirez ALL day inserting flash drives & 3 hours of late night work to troubleshoot & fix the problem. 4, they bring together the 4 party chairs - from their interview, I can tell they are out of their league on this. They don’t do a public disclosure where there are highly technical people watching what’s going on & would spot the bs a mile away. 5. They did a video to show how the backslash wouldn’t accept but, tada, take the backslash out & it works - all good. 6. The backslash cannot be inserted as part of a file name unless you use Linux. Maricopa runs on Microsoft, which over 1400 critical patches (79 fatal & 3 zero day) were released in a single day Tuesday- most ever. That I am sure they will not be patching. Who has the Linux that did this? 7. Ramirez took a flash drives/USB out of the building & came back at night. According to WTP from the video they captured. Other issues are raised by this video as well - yet to be released. 8. They claim it was a rush job to get it done before the weekend. The video was captured Wednesday night. He didn’t work Thursday or Friday? 9. According to the county, it’s all good because the duplication is separate (air gapped 🤣) from the live election equipment that has been certified & it would not be used for another couple of weeks. See the problem with explanation 8 & 9. Why the rush at night if they have weeks? Add in the implausible excuse of needing all day & into the night to diagnose this. It all smells like 💩 Put ALL that with a KNOWN vector the Venezuelans use to get malware into the system. See post below. The told us of a wrong date trick. USB won’t load. Helpful Dominion man gives them an “updated” USB. But this time they use an incompatible character in a file name- quoting from the chair that had IT experience “that character should never be allowed in that particular field” I’d like to know how they generated the video that would accept that file name - on a Microsoft system. And if it’s a piss poor design of the software that allows the user to enter the folder name & then uses it for the file name - again- why THIS year did they decide to add a backslash? Knowing how dangerous a USB is - the false security of “air gapped” is not enough. That’s why there are very specific rules to bringing a USB into the room where everything is “connected”. I still have specific questions on how the ballot gets into the duplicate ballot gets into tabulator. At one point, these used to just have Runbeck print them. The original was never inspected next to the printed ballot & they were stored separately. Have they change procedures where they exam the printed ballot next to the original? Is the ballot manually fed into the tabulator or are they bulk uploaded from a USB?@AzRepGillette can get to those answers too. They make a difference. So the short version of my answer- it follows the same known exploit used by the bad guys - cause some error to get an “updated” USB in that room. We know digital images have been swapped in the past (a proven fact - Tina Peter’s forensic image & John Soloman) & loaded to the EMS to match the manipulated CVR & the county is never the wiser. So specific questions need to be answered.
