The machines are inventoried and their model/serial numbers are available. If they used other machines, those machines wouldn't be certified to be in use, nullifying it anyway.

They COULD be slimy and say 'the machines don't update the totals in real time, but hold the tally in RAM. Once the machine CPU is no longer under load, the tally is updated and the numbers are sent by bulk.' Or they could say 'due to heavy network traffic, poll number updates were lagged. When there was network bandwidth available, that totals were mass updated.'

Now, you could argue that the CPU wouldn't fuck the graph up like it did making that excuse moot.

The second one is POSSIBLE if the tally numbers dropped to 0 for x amount of time but you could calibrate that in the graph. Which I imagine they did and it still doesn't look right. Also, these machines aren't supposed to be online. So there's that.

Either way, there's no real good excuse for these large spikes.There's no way to worm your way out with a somewhat logical explanation. Even IF there was a non malicious explanation (doubt it), all this shit falls on the equipment used. Dominion. If the equipment was faulty, it shouldn't have been certified. If if was, that's Dominion's fault. They might try to pin it on Dominion being incompetent. But it still invalidates all those ballots. So it doesn't really matter.

I'd love to hear from an actual Dominion employee about the bullshit going on. They have to be scared that someone is going to kill them if they talk. I'd imagine Eric Coomer is hiding in a dirty hovel in Bolivia praying SOCOM doesn't find where he is. Because he's going to be in a real world of shit if Trump gets his hands on him.
