(9,897 posts)There was a story about this in the press last week that gained no traction...but IN and CA had break ins to their election systems.
The 2020 race was considered too wide to steal, and the efforts to do so simply mirrored what worked in 2016 with Putin and Russia being fine with exactly what we have today - chaos, bitter division and a trump whining fit...but the real aim was to experiment with a solidly red state and a solidly blue state to game out just how far voter manipulation and changing votes can go before the system alarms and the people respond...
Bookmark this reply because one day in 2022 or 2024 you may want to remember where you heard it first...or maybe you can just drop me a note and see if the tinfoil succeeds in cutting off blood flow to my head!

As for stealing the election, Republican experts know precisely what districts need to be stolen here in there, absolutely no need to steal the whole thing.

The senate is super fishy, cause it ties biden's hands... Gridlock, what until we get a R president again ???

(8,393 posts)Northern Virginia, but the state started to turn blue when we got paper ballots that are fed into a voting machine. The state does random audits and the ballots cannot be destroyed.
I truly believe this made a difference.
We need Voter Verified Paper Ballots everywhere - please!

Why we blame the pollsters for being wrong is beyond me. Sure, some are wrong, but the averages were pretty close to truth.
