I believe this election voting data situation surely involves heavy-hitters with deep pockets, as in nation state(s). None of this was done by some guy in the proverbial basement surrounded by pizza boxes and Mountain Dew.
We are 10 years out from the discovery of Stuxnet, and considering the stakes on all sides involved with whether or not President Trump remained President, I believe something, or even more than one thing, just as sophisticated as Stuxnet was involved here.
If TLS was used in the packet transmission, then either the sender was capturing all traffic prior to sending it, and hence prior to encryption, and provided him the unencrypted packets, or a receiver captured all received packets after decrypting them and provided the received packets to him.
Or, the operation was being done as a man in the middle attack and somebody involved in the attack is the source of the unencrypted PCAPs.
Or, an older, insecure version of TLS/SSL was used and the encryption was broken using known vulnerabilities in the older protocols.

Yes, they can be reused, but if you have 200 patients needing ventilators at the same time and you only have 120 ventilators at your facility, you have a shortage. There are too many patients needing them simultaneously.
There is already something better than what you propose. It is called WiMax. However, it is questionable whether anyone would be able to profit from building the infrastructure necessary to support this technology.
SSI is set at about $670 a month and you qualify for many welfare programs such as Medicaid. SSDI amount is determined based on earnings history and can vary widely. SSDI benificiaries qualify for Medicare after receiving benefits for 2 years. Only SSI gets you dental under Medicaid.
SSI qualifies for food stamps. SSDI depends on payment amount.
All SSI/SSDI recipients are subject to medical review in 1, 3 or 7 years depending on the medical condition they are declared disabled for. Supposedly, if your condition improves to where you are no longer deemed disabled the payments stop. I have no idea how many are actually kicked off each year for “improved” conditions.
Reminds me of a local story where a woman saw Mary in a pane of glass of her window. They tried to remove the window and the glass broke. I had never seen such wailing and gnashing of teeth.
