Intelligence director Tulsi Gabbard's office obtained and tested voting machines in Puerto Rico

6. They are fishing for ways to nullify election results.

It’s unclear exactly when the agency received and studied the voting machines. In justifying the voting equipment probe, the ODNI cited “publicly reported claims relating to elections in Puerto Rico alleging discrepancies and systemic anomalies in their electronic voting systems.” David Becker, the executive director of a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that works with election officials, told CNN that voting machines are subject to regular testing and a strict chain of custody. The machines count paper ballots that are audited and recounted to confirm the machine counts. Those are all security controls that have proven effective, he said.

If Donald Trump pulls a fraudulent, self-serving claim of voter fraud out of his ass it becomes a "publicly reported claim."
There is no legitimate difference of opinion on the chain of custody of ballots, only a difference in goals. Breaking the chain of custody of ballots, like in Puerto Rico and Fulton County, creates the opportunity to forge counterfeit claims. Breaking the chain of custody or routing it through a criminal enterprise is the exact opposite of the usual prosecutorial burden of demonstrating a legitimate chain of custody of evidence.

This is not partisan disagreement. This is an attack on American democracy by its enemies.
