Episode Details

CannCon and Ashe in America welcome back Colonel Shawn Smith for a genuinely wonky, connect-the-dots hour. The thread starts in Puerto Rico, where the government called in the feds over its Dominion machines, and quickly widens into a study of Mojave, the AI outfit that shows up in a string of Reuters stories. Colonel Smith walks through the reporting he says conveniently never names the intelligence-community heavyweight tied to the company's founding, and argues the whole push exists to preserve the illusion that computerized voting can somehow be secured with more AI. He explains how these systems are built to cover their tracks, why you hunt for the logs that should be there and aren't, and why insiders got boxed out of the real investigation. Then CannCon carries it home with Puerto Rico's hundreds of ballot errors, the Halderman report, Raffensperger's unpatched software, and the Eric Coomer and Fox Dominion fallout. Plus beards, boomers, and Rico Suave.
