Except when they aren’t. Video and network prof of connected machines on voting day are going around.
They *should * be air gaoped from date of certification to months after election, but that would be logical and legal and reasonable and stuff.

Also, documents scanned multiple times, usb files of fraudulent votes, illegal votes of dead, harvested votes, votes transferred by drag and drop from folder to folder, votes that were blank and modified by the machine, votes bought in bulk from China are all not covered by this. I think the forensics must be done, but also that not finding something can be pronounced as truth no fraud took place and the opposite is true.

The issue here is that floating point arithmetic is not perfectly reversible. The exponent and mantissa are both variable and there are numbers without perfectly round representations which lead to an increase in Epsilon as the number of operations increases. Yeah, we can create a "probable" reversal but with the number of adjustments I've seen it's likely raised Epsilon really high.
The question is how much tolerance for error does an election need? If we cannot accept a single vote error then Epsilon is a serious factor. If not, we'd have to make the estimation so that Epsilon was minimized.

You're correct. But you also omit the blatant fact that their own software manual outlines how to set the variables for weighted votes
If (vote(name)=biden)
{
Vote(count) = vote(count) + ( 1 * weightA)
}
else
{
vote(count) = vote(count) + ( 1 * weightB)
}

Also, since these machines apparently run on Win10 it's entirely possible that the software was built on .NET which should be easily decompiled into something readable from .NET's IL.

.net framework 3.5, j# , c++ and jre runtimes are all required installs for the software to work.
There are a load of different software components so they may be written in different languages.
