No, that doesn't work. The problem with a conspiracy is that only one person needs to break the silence, and no one is.Because they don't care, because they're afraid, because what they're allowed to see isn't enough to piece together the full picture; take your pick.
On top of that, since Dominion sued? They basically asked all the people they sued to look at all of Dominions code looking for a problem (it's called discovery). And no, they won't be able to hide code, as they will have used version control and that's not something you can just magic away evidence from easily. They'd be absolutely fucked if this was true, not going on a defamation suing binge. Dominion is completely innocent in this.
No, what I'm saying is that Dominion trying to turn the election through illegal votes simply won't work, for a vast number of reasons, mostly concerning the vast number of people that have access to the machine's code, along with the individualized input files that every district needs. It's simply impossible that Dominion could have done this. Someone would say something.@Abhorsen , eh, I see no reason for your high hope in the incorruptibility of the system. Its well known JFK generated 10,000 of thousands of outright false votes out of the Chicago area in the 1960 election. That eventually resulted in 3 convictions 2 years later.
Like if they tried, Donald Trump would be president right now because the hack would have been noticed, there'd be dominion employees that wouldn't shut up about how they were the first to notice the problem, but the company tried to silence them, executives desperate to avoid prosecution. There's no way for a company to control information that well because there are too many people looking at the code.
And this is the first hurdle any conspiracy theory (and I mean that in the literal definition, a theory of multiple people conspiring) must pass: why did no one squeal? Or more game theoretical, why did no one's incentive to defect outweigh their incentive to cooperate. In things like government, high up CEOs doing cartels, etc, the incentive to cooperate is much higher, as they are ideologically committed or stand to personally make money.
But in most companies, they aren't monopolitical profit-sharing things. There's almost always someone willing to defect for money, fame, fear of arrest, or ideology. Dominion is clearly not the problem.
