174. These are cybersecurity experts, not the My Pillow guy.

Nov 2024

They are bringing it up because there are significant vulnerabilities in an election where all the momentum was on our side and most people in the business of prognostics thought she would win. The opposition is a career criminal who was headed for prison for one of his many crimes. He is being helped by the world’s richest man, who seems to have ethics issues of his own.

It is entirely plausible that they cheated in ways the average person would not detect. That is why we have experts. Geez, the Republicans believe everything even after refutation, and on our side we fight about letting the experts who care about accurate voting totals do their thing. Such a waste of energy. And since the criminals are now in power, it probably will go nowhere anyway.
