...there is a subtle point embodied in the excerpt of the ballot count log. If you haven't seen the full report, what this excerpt shows is log messages of:
The 1st ballot being successfully scanned and counted;
the 2nd ballot being rejected and "reversed" out of the machine for being misaligned on the front side;
the 3rd ballot being successfully scanned and counted;
the 3rd ballot (same ID number) being successfully scanned and counted again (with no error message of double-scan/double-count);
the 3rd ballot (same ID number) being successfully scanned and counted AGAIN (with no error message again);
and the 4th ballot being rejected and "reversed" out of the machine for being misaligned on the back side.
So there were four ballots in this section of the log file, and four ballots were counted, but they were NOT the same four ballots that went into the machine. Two ballots weren't counted, while one other ballot was triple-counted.
I believe the log showed that this was in the November 6 machine recount, which certainly had radically different numbers from the three other times the ballots were counted, according to the forensic report.
I have to wonder what the rest of the log files look like...

I recently understood that I am spending my life in rebuilding spiritual and practical foundations that had been foolishly undermined by previous generations.
Several months ago I was reading a nonfiction book by Christian author Paul Tournier, and made it about three-quarters of the way through before being drawn away to other things.
When I picked it up this last week and finished reading it, I found references to about a dozen Bible passages that had come up in my daily Bible readings in the interim, mostly obscure Old Testament personages with a variety of afflictions; Tournier was a Swiss doctor famous for connecting his Christianity with his medical practice.
I also read a Christian fiction book this last week: Deadline, by Randy Alcorn. One day, what I read in the book mirrored my morning Bible reading on that same day.
"A work of creation was three-fold, an earthly trinity to match the heavenly; the Creative Idea, timeless and passionate, which is the image of the Father; the Creative Energy, begotten of the idea and working in time, which is the image of the Word; the Creative Power, the meaning of the work and its response in the individual soul, which is the image of the indwelling Spirit."
-- P. D. James, summarizing Dorothy L. Sayers' description
