All the files were modified post election. The files he did check where all just meaningless lists of IP addresses in RTF documents.

  How can you say that a list of IP addresses is meaningless without investigating who was behind them? There can be a lot of information there. The idea that someone would set up some kind of hacker convention and offer a reward for hundreds of experts to parse through gigabytes of random fake data that they intentionally created sounds beyond insane. What is the motive for that? I didn't even hear about this convention, so it can't be a PR stunt... It's just not believable. If that's where we're at, we might as well believe the majority of conspiracy theories which are less far-fetched than this.

    There are, but then you have to show in court how you got these files. Which since they were created just before the competition, apparently wasn't possible. Even if someone did all you said and accidentally changed the file modification date, you should have some original data source with an earlier file modification date.
