You cannot deny what the judge said. He told them to stop erasing data. That means they had to be told to stop erasing data from machines known to be vulnerable to corruption and yet defended by officials against forensic examination for some reason that looked dirty.

Federal judge orders Georgia officials not to wipe, reset or alter Dominion voting machines

A federal judge in Georgia has issued a temporary injunction barring state election officials from erasing data on the Dominion Voting System machines in three counties.
The judge had to order the stubborn officials to stop erasing data on the machines until the machines could be properly examined.
Late Sunday, U.S. District Judge Timothy Batten of the Northern District of Georgia directed Gov. Brian Kemp, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, and other state election officials to preserve data on voting machines in Cobb, Gwinnett, and Cherokee Counties.
Plaintiffs sought the emergency injunction as part of their effort to have their own experts conduct a forensic electronic inspection on the machines as part of attorney Sidney Powell’s case alleging vote fraud and ballot manipulation during the Nov. 3 election.
Powell and others just wanted the machines forensically examined which should pose no threat to anyone except crooks trying to hide fraud.
“Defendants are hereby enjoined and restrained from altering, destroying, or erasing, or allowing the alteration, destruction, or erasure of, any software or data on any Dominion voting machine” in the three named counties, Batten’s order said.
The court restrained the officials fighting the examination of the machines just weeks after the election from tampering with the machines in any way in orde3r to preserve evidence that would be destroyed if data were altered, destroyed, or erased. The officials fighting the examination of the machines did not want the machines to be examined.
The temporary restraining order also instructs the defendants to file a brief by 5 p.m. Wednesday, laying out legal arguments as to why the court should not allow the forensic inspections.
The judge demanded that the officials provide legitimate reasons with facts and evidence for blocking examinations of the machines.
“The brief should be accompanied and supported by affidavit or other evidence, if appropriate,” the order states.
During a Zoom hearing earlier in the evening, the defendants argued that the Georgia secretary of state has no authority over county election officials, and thus cannot order machines to be preserved.
State officials whined that they allegedly had no power to stop local officials from altering data on the machines.
Also, the defendants said that allowing machines to be inspected “would pose substantial security and proprietary/trade secret risks” to Dominion.
Dominion officials have been proven to be extremely biased in favor of Democrats, with one official even on record declaring that he was going to ensure Biden won the 2020 election. Democrats and Dominion controlled the programming and operation of the machines and claimed forensic examinations of the machines after elections would be damaging to national security, which is exactly the kind of preposterous claim crooks would make to cover up their fraud.
But defendants countered that the complaint could be altered to include county election officials as plaintiffs. In addition, they argued that the inspection could be performed for state experts as well and that any findings be sequestered and provided only to the court for further inspection.
The state officials argued that if forensic examinations were conducted that the results should never be made public. That also has the appearance of crooks trying to hide facts of fraud from the public.
In addition to ordering the machines’ data preserved, for the time being, Batten also ordered the state to provide plaintiffs with a copy of the contract between Georgia and Dominion.
The looting and lying Democrat party contracted with a company with a history of voting machine corruption to provide machines subject to corruption to large Democrat wards where tens of thousands of fake votes for Biden seemed to have been invented by those machines.
The order came after a day filled with a flurry of legal action and two previous decisions by Batten.
Earlier, Wood noted on Twitter that Batten ordered the state “to maintain the statue [sic] quo & are temporarily enjoined from wiping or resetting any voting machines in the State of Georgia until further order of the Court.”
Only one judge among dozens presented evidence of 2020 fraud blocked state officials from erasing or altering data on machines that showed evidence of having been corrupted to benefit Biden in 2020.

But Batten reversed his decision a short time later after the state argued it had no control over Georgia counties — a ruling that Batten’s third-order vacated.
If the state responds by Wednesday as ordered, plaintiffs will have until Thursday to respond to the state’s argument. Batten has scheduled a hearing on the original motion for Friday morning.
Last week, Powell filed suit in Georgia seeking to decertify the state’s election results giving Democrat Joe Biden a victory, alleging “massive election fraud” and “multiple violations” of state laws.
There still remains in Georgia unrefuted and unresolved evidence of significant 2020 voting fraud.
As part of the suit, Powell sought an “emergency declaratory judgment that voting machines be seized and impounded immediately for a forensic audit.”
Democrats fought like hell to prevent experts from examining the voting machines immediately after the election and before data could be altered or erased, and the obstructionist officials ended up winning in most cases against the demands by American voters for transparency and proof of the legitimacy of the 2020 election they were owed by their officials.
“The scheme and artifice to defraud was for the purpose of illegally and fraudulently manipulating the vote count to make certain the election of Joe Biden as President of the United States,” said the complaint.
“There is incontrovertible physical evidence that the standards of physical security of the voting machines and the software were breached, and machines were connected to the internet in violation of professional standards and state and federal laws,” it further states.
The evidence of voting machine abuse and corruption and efforts of government officials to prevent inspections of those machines immediately after the election remain today as evidence of deliberate official incompetence and corruption.
“The massive fraud begins with the election software and hardware from Dominion Voting Systems Corporation (‘Dominion’) only recently purchased and rushed into use by Defendants Governor Brian Kemp, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, and the Georgia Board of Elections,” the complaint adds.
“Sequoia voting machines were used in 16 states and the District of Colombia in 2006. Smartmatic, which has revenue of about $100 million, focuses on Venezuela and other markets outside the U.S,” it continued.
Dominion has roots in Sequoia and Sequoia has roots in George Soros companies.
