Nothing to see here folks...nothing at all

We now know the Russians spent millions, if not billions of dollars to hack our voter files and fund various disinformation campaigns. We know they coached and colluded operatives and with operatives in order to accomplish their ends...but don't you DARE say they fucked with our voting machines.

Or, if you DARE, you had better prove that they fucked with EVERY voting machine, or it never happened. Hear me now: a coordinated effort was launched to undermine our American democracy, and there was plenty of evidence that something was afoot. Suuuuure...they hacked our files, but they stopped short of hacking our machines, because *America*. I am so sick to death of motherfuckers pretending it didn't and it never would happen. Stay fucking woke.

That county is a 30th of the size of our county here, and we're not close to the biggest in the state.

And this is the shit I am talking about...how these motherfuckers IMPOSE that there's nothing to see, that we need to hone our message.

No...we need them to stop cheating.
