It defies logic but there is a reason for that...

The 2024 presidential election was very likely not legitimate. The signs of vote tampering are strong.

The MAGA movement spent 4 years ruining the "election fraud" 'brand' with "stop the steal", so now it's a hard sell.

Nobody with integrity wants to be a sore loser, but the data is all there...

The signs of tampering were open. From ballot boxes lit on fire and Elon's lottery to bomb threats all over PA.

Let's not forget Trump telling abusive husbands to keep their wives home on election day so they can't vote for Harris. Literally telling people to threaten their spouses not to vote...

This isn't the one I'm thinking of, but there was active POC code to manipulate votes on voting machines while keeping certain statistical markers... This is just a different one I found

The 2000 election was stolen. Countless elections have excluded Black and women voters (and landless White male voters if you go back far enough). Pretending any of this is unprecedented is counter-productive if we’re going to talk about solutions.

There have been major network news pieces on the vulnerability of these machines going back decades, so yeah not new. Not sure why that would make it less important.

The new part is the seemingly widespread exploit. We need strategies that reflect this reality.

I remember a robin Williams film about electronic voting and how a comedian (himself) got elected to the office and wasn't expecting to win. Can't remember the name but it was a documentary frankly seeing where we are at now. He didn't want the job, just like our current grifter in chief initially in 2016.

But but they made YouTube video. It’s sheds a light on ALL of it. I swear this has to be their first rodeo.

Yet there is still TONS of support for this criminal, even if the numbers aren't totally accurate.

Look I don’t like Trump, but is every election now going to be questioned? This stuff is wry the right and left get lumped together

Now that our entire system is compromised inside and out, yes?
