There are some things I believe IEBC can(and should do) to at least clear the air with NASA.
1. Chebukati should share all the answers to his questions in the Chiloba memo.I know it was confidential, but it came out neverthless. So the public needs answers.
2. The end-to-end audit of the IT ecosystem at IEBC with a focus on what was going on around election time.I have seen reports(rumors?) that the KIEMS supplier thinks October 17th is too early to upgrade the KIEMS kits. Obviously we need to know what they think they need to upgrade, why an upgrade is needed, in addition why we have not seen the KIEMS metadata up to now? The election happened over a month ago. We are 3 weeks into a court order to open the servers.
Without doing that, even a non-partisan observer can sympathize with NASA for not wanting to go headlong into an election with this referee.
