Several years ago I was at AFSPACOM... We did a study on comm/data points of failure. The Nashville site was on the list among a number of others. One of the others was one building in St Louis, and was a single point of failure for East-West comms. That's the one that really worried us. A single bottle-neck to shut down commercial and military comms. At the time, SATCOM was not the answer, as all comms have to hit the ground at some point. Note this "was" - the issue may have been corrected.., (yeah, right).

Is it possible the white hats hit Nashville to disrupt Dominion from interfering in the GA election? Sure was alot of effort made to not hurt anyone.

similar with the power grid - i did some contract work years back on some infrastructure war-gaming - we didn't have clearance so we didn't have access to the actual data - but the military contractor we were working for told me that there was basically a handful of non redundant key infrastructure nodes around the country that if were hit we would be without power in most of the country for months if not a year.
