Have you heard about the German Democratic Republic? Eastern Germany from 1949 to 1990.
They had a one party system, completely with votes and all. After every election, they would announce the results as something like 98% or 99% for the one party and their leader.
The 98% were a lie, and everybody knew it. But that didn't mean that the elections were all fake. Only the resulting numbers were made up.
People actually went and voted, because everybody was watched, and they would have some serious disadvantages in life if they didn't vote for the party.
In order to express their protest, many people returned the blank ballots into the ballot boxes.
users were quick to point out that “it is standard practice to keep a seized server powered on or otherwise technically accessible until investigators can perform a live memory (RAM) capture in a forensic lab.”
So that's the next interesting question:
Have they used this standard practice in this case?
LOL so when they get in a situation in a tunnel that is 10 or 20 km long (ok you have them only 4km in poor Usa, but we have them here), they first drive it at 10km/h and then they give up after 300m? Because the rules are the rules??
In the very first days, that is, when I had read about that virus that appeared in China and threatened to infect and kill many in the whole world, I had to make a decision:
Should I fear for my life?
It took me a few days, and I decided against it.
Later I did not do so many of the crazy things other people did out of fear. I did what seemed reasonable, like some distancing, wearing masks, washing hands...

Good to hear. Thanks for sharing this.
But still, if I were some higher manager there, then I would probably think a little different than you honest people:
that is now outsourced overseas.
One of the differences is that these operator people come a lot cheaper now.
NHTSA regulations disallow it
Another difference is that they won't ever tell any American what they actually do at their job, because they are on the other side of the globe, where it makes no difference at all if they can spell this 5 letter abbreviation or not.
