Smartmatic Whistleblower Deposition Testimony - Sept 18, 2025 "Q. What you've told us is that the Dominion system was configured so that when the log files got full, they just overwrote the information that was already in the log file. True? A. Of course. These are standard settings, standard configurations. Q. So, while the system was operating during the 2020 election, it was actually writing over the data from the election? A. It rewrites the day-to-day of an election. So let's say it gets -- it becomes full, then the next day gets overridden on top of that. Q. And so when you have an election that lasts for several days, it becomes impossible to audit the full election because the records are being erased after they are written. True? A. That is correct. Q. And so that is a capability that is built into the Dominion software -- correct? -- that is overwrites election records while the election is going on? A. That is correct. If the machine is operational and it is operating, it will record on top of a log that is already there. Q. And that is part of the Dominion software that allows it to erase records while the election is going on. True? A. That's correct. Q. Just so the record's clear, are you aware of 52 U.S. Code Section 20701, which requires every officer of election to preserve all election records, including electronic records, for 22 months after each election? A. That is correct. Correct, yes, we knew that."
