I think the ground-mid-level players are stupid - for all the reasons you point out.  However, the higher players - who utilize a systems approach to everything - are not stupid which is one reason there's still much more to be revealed.  IMO a lot of the "stupidity" is actually over-confidence in their infallibility because they've been able to blatantly get away with it for years.  They are stupid in their brazenness.   I'd be willing to bet that this software managed fraud was known from 2018 mid-terms or even earlier so the trap was set. Screw the ballot counts and affidavits if you have the central election server data and records of all the tabulations of all votes with time-stamps for all states shows fraudulent manipulation.   100% - Trump's known about it for years.  He knows every aspect of the election system is corrupt - the officials, the courts, the software - everything.  He knew the servers were the only foolproof way to go.    Yes! Lin Wood.  Knows his stuff and is quite optimistic.  No way he'd risk his professional credibility by making unfounded statements about Biden being in jail.
