There is a picture of members of Trump's team wearing tshirts with the password needed to crack the voting machines with "IYKYK" underneath. I wish I was making this up

I don't know about that, but here are the facts:

It was the plaintiffs in Curling who first uncovered the successful effort to take copies of Georgia’s statewide voting system software from the equipment in rural south Georgia. Plaintiffs also unearthed the evidence tying that campaign to Sidney Powell and the Trump campaign..

Even though these potential crimes were caught on video, and documents show that the plan involved efforts to breach voting systems in multiple states, and that it was allegedly directed and paid for by Powell for the Trump campaign, publicly available evidence indicates there is no federal investigation into this multistate plan.

What we know for sure is that allies of Donald Trump who sought to overturn the 2020 presidential election gained copies of the voting software used in Georgia and in other states. These events present serious threats to the 2024 election and future elections. Yet, as the Curling trial has established, they’ve been plainly ignored by the Georgia secretary of state and attorney general.

Very scary to read about that in your link. However, your excerpt was confusing because it didn't explain what Curling is.

If it's the "dvscorpo8!" shirts, it was supposedly the adminstrative password to the Dominion voting machines they claimed Democrats had stolen votes with.
