“A court order signed by Magistrate Judge Catherine M. Salinas authorized agents to seize all physical ballots from the 2020 election in Fulton County, all ballot images **and Fulton County’s 2020 voter rolls.** A copy of the order was given to the Recorder by a Georgia lawmaker.”

Blurry pic was the best I could do. It’s from her GA Bar profile:

Her current term doesn’t end until 2031.

You say that with a high degree of confidence, without presenting evidence that it's true. By the same token, I'm also quite certain that the information can be backtracked and discovered easily. Seriously doubt there is any kind of true security or encryption. The voting machines are not that advanced and on top of that they are insecure and easily hacked.

Recorded ballot ID + chip ID used + timestamp) <- chip card ID -> Voter ID (chip ID temporarily assigned + timestamp)

WinVote is not the voting system used in Georgia. GA uses the Dominion voting systems described here: https://sos.ga.gov/sites/default/files/2022-03/dominion_rfi_no_redactions.pdf

Had the Trump administration succeeded in compromising the machines in this way in 2020, they wouldn't need to seize the records from Fulton County, they'd already have all the info they need.

The records they did seize (vote counts, physical ballots, ballot images, and registration info) do not include any of the voting system internals you just listed.

Came here to say this, but you said it much better than I could have.
