    The claims can be audited. I was hoping to see subpoenas or something after this broke then was expanded on in the article I linked here. But no, we have a handful of lawsuits getting slow rolled. I suspect we will get an answer in the form of paper ballots disappearing should someone manage to trigger a full recount. It’s been months and this regime has no issue destroying evidence.

    I thought about this for a while and realistically, if this happened, the only way you’re going to prove it after the fact is if one of the nerds who helped flips or one of the rich shot callers kept evidence. Incompetence of DOGE could save the day but really where are there still going to be logs in another 6 months?

      Well the thing that always sticks with me about “the nerds” is that each state runs its own elections and as such, has multiple election cybersecurity teams all over each state. The idea that they had what amounts to literally thousands of these nerds all over the country that all were in on it, all used zero-day exploits that were unknown, and all kept their mouths shut is just, well… it’s definitely bordering on absurdly impossible for that many people to be involved and no one is popping off with evidence. Further security teams aren’t just one person, so it would have to be every single person on every single security team and if there is one thing nerds with security credentials take seriously, it’s security!

        You’re misunderstanding the topology, go read that again. They just needed a map of machines and polling stations(thanks Russia those hacks where you did “nothing” may have yielded Intel). If you targeted just the swing states I don’t see any reason you’d need more than a dosen warm bodies. Can clean up most of those lose ends later, they don’t all have to be smart, skids like big balls can deploy an exploit.
