Jill Stein’s petition for a recount of the Wisconsin balloting includes an affidavit from Professor Halderman, which Stein cites as the sole “basis of belief” that irregularities occurred in Wisconsin that support her petition for a recount. So what does Professor Halderman say in his affidavit?

quote:
The second point that Halderman stresses is that during 2016 there were various breaches of cyber-security, such as the breach of the DNC e-mail archive, that were apparently intended to affect the U.S. presidential election. Reports of these breaches constitute Exhibits B-F of the affidavit. It should be noted that only Exhibit D and Exhibit F concern alleged or suspected breaches of actual voting equipment. Exhibit D concerns a breach of the Illinois voter registration database that resulted in the theft of voter information data, and an attempted, but apparently unsuccessful, breach of the voter registration database in Arizona. (Please note that Wisconsin, where the recount is being sought, was not one of the states reportedly breached, and that neither Illinois nor Arizona were among the states Halderman reportedly recommended for recounts.) Exhibit F concerns an anonymously sourced report from DHS about attempts, apparently unsuccessful, to breach voting systems in as many as 20 unnamed states.

The Russians would do some research and then change the outcome of the election in close states. BUT he somehow doesn't go through and provide any information on how close the 3 states were in the polls.

I wonder why?

quote:
Well, this uncharacteristic lapse of thoroughness creates an obscurity in Halderman’s affidavit that is convenient for his case, because the states that the polls predicted would be very close do not include Wisconsin or the other two states where Halderman has recommended that recounts should be sought.

Oh, question answered.

I'll even break down his Exhibits:
Exhibit A - huge CV of J. Alex Halderman
Exhibit B - Wired article
Exhibit C - NYTimes article
Exhibit D - NBC News article
Exhibit E - Homeland Security release
Exhibit F - Chicago Tribune article
Exhibit G - Christian Science Monitor article on Ukraine Elections
