Yes, I am aware of all this, and it's completely irrelevant to the topic being discussed, which is whether this "Kraken" theory of the software quietly moving votes from one candidate to the other is accurate.
Without a proper audit, there is no way to know. From the recounts I saw, each table was told in advance what each batch was supposed to total. At tables where discrepancies occurred, the person delivering and collecting batches still recorded them as accurate. Ballot tallies were not double-authenticated as they were typed into a software package. And the ballots themselves were not secure. Boxes were steadily going in and out of sight, some delivered to counting tables, and others left on shelves.
The final tallies were the only numbers checked. Precinct tallies were lost in the shuffle as ballots were pre-segregated in each batch. It would not have been difficult to prepare enough photocopies of ballots after the election to match the Dominion numbers.
In other words, the recount was never designed to uncover Dominion fraud, or any fraud for that matter. The sole purpose of the recount by design was to provide cover for the Governor and Secretary of State. That was clear to everyone there.
