How come machines & data in Fulton county are NOT included???
Defendants are hereby are ENJOINED and RESTRAINED from altering, destroying, or erasing or allowing the alteration, destruction or erasure of, any software or data on any Dominion voting machine in Cobb, Gwinnitt and Cherokee Counties.
That's what I read somewhere earlier, but I've also seen a reference to a spoliation letter specifically aimed at the Fulton County machines, so not sure exactly what the status is. There's still a Fulton County recount underway, I believe, though it was interrupted by a Dominion server crash this evening. If the machines are being used in the recount, which I would think they would need to be, they may be in some intermediate state, where software has been updated but the election data not removed yet.
I call "Shenanigans" in GA. WTF is wrong with this judge, no one grants on order, reverses an order and then grants it again without being corrupt! My gut tells me he go the"go ahead call" saying updates were made. Just my theory though!
Read the details of the three orders. It's all quite ordinary in terms of legal procedure. It's just the extraordinary underlying subject matter and the inherently short time frame that's making it seem unusual. The plaintiffs' initial motion was rushed and sloppy, the defendants' counsel did their jobs and poked legal holes in it, the judge gave the plaintiffs' counsel the opportunity to cure the defects, plaintiffs' counsel did so to the judge's satisfaction. The result was 3 orders in quick succession, ending with a result that is appropriate for the real-world situation at issue.
I figured this was forthcoming, and it's clear from the text of this order that the judge knew at the time of the second order that the Plaintiffs' counsel would be amending their motion to address the problems with their initial emergency motion, and that there was a near certainty that the evening would end with an order prohibiting the changing or erasing of any software or data presently on the machines.
Can you explain ?
Why is this not stickied?
Seems like the 'pause' on election night. Judge just gave them time to clean the machines and once done said to hault cleaning them.

I believe they have already been reset/wiped and had software updated (before this emergency motion was filed).
I was afraid of that. Makes sense though.

Never saw a judge do this
