It has been for years, especially if all this info about the extremely insecure voting machines, starlink, ballot manipulating code, stingrays, etc is true, which it seems to be.
I cannot for the life of me understand why none of the dems in power are talking about this election being fixed. Other countries have spoken up about the same thing happening to them. At least one has demanded new elections. There seems to be plenty of evidence that this happened in the U.S., so why would they refuse to acknowledge it? Do they think people won't believe them? They keep trying to play by rules that conservatives have long since abandoned. I just don't understand anything anymore.
Because they spent the last four years with the conservatives falsely claiming it for 2020 and want to look like they're taking the high road by accepting the results and making a big show about doing a peaceful transfer of power
Which is such a mind numbingly stupid strategy it literally hurts my brain. If there's evidence, follow it. God I hate this.
Yup.
I remain confused why 1) voting machines would have anything to do with Starlink and 2) why voting machines would be networked at all. Like, at all. It just seems like such an obvious and massive security issue. I could design a dramatically more secure way of doing electronic voting machines off the cuff that would keep most of the main advantages while eliminating most/all of the main issues.
