I am retired from IT (10 years retired, so very, very outdated).
I'm going to venture a guess between the uplink of the data in one location to the ultimate downlink to who's reporting the data to us, the public, the DATA could have been manipulated to benefit Trump. If the data was not traveling from one place to another via NORMAL (secured) links with the ability to trace the "transactions" that occurred during IT's time out of the secured election system network nationwide. IT COULD BEEN FLIP before it was returned.
I'm dating myself now, so bear with me. I'm not sure which election it was, but the good guys on our side (mostly very experienced hackers) traced the links the GOP had set up to move election tallies to a remote computer, MASSAGED the data, and returned it with the results in their favor.
So let me back up a little. The "hackers" watched the movement back and forth of the TEST data for (days, weeks, months) I don't know, BUT they knew precisely what route it took going out and returning. So they hacked the last link in the return trip and altered the firewall so the data could not pass through it.
I REMEMBER WHAT ELECTION IT WAS IN 2012. Obama vs Romney
On election night, Fox announced the results state by state, and the race was close. But at one point, Karl Rove was waiting for Ohio's final numbers to decide who would win. The election desk called it for Obama, and Karl Rove was furious and tried to stop it, but he couldn't get the final tallies.
At the time, those watching had heard the rumor that the hackers had stopped the massaged data from returning. Of course, we could never prove it, and the GOP could not say, "Wait, if our massaged data had gotten back, we would have won."
Back to Skylink Musk / Trump and stealing an election. By bypassing the national election network and using Musk's Skylink communications, they could have manipulated the results without oversight.
Anyone who can manage this could program steal votes:
With very little effort.
