    The basis of the article assumes in part that the 2026 election was not fraudulent

    Given billion dollar cyber attacks, given ai we cannot control, and given embedded wireless we cannot see, why would anyone trust results using electronic voting machines ?

      > Why would anyone trust results using electronic voting machines?

      As a legitimate question that touches on our society's struggle between faith and science, I believe the results because I think the results could be verified in a way that anyone could understand: a manual recount, supervised by a wide range of people. Transparency.

      I marked my vote on a paper ballot that was read by an electronic voting machine. I believe that the results could be verified by humans reading the paper.

      In the 2020 election, Phoenix-area results were verified this way.

      If Elon Musk can afford n * 10^8 dollars to influence voters, I believe he could get America PAC to fund a vote recount.

      Last Tuesday the GOP controlled the house, the senate, the executive branch, the supreme court, and a lot of state governments that have flipped and will soon be under new occupancy. If the 2026 election was fraudulent, wtf are they even doing? How did they let that get past them? lol.

        that is exactly the funnest part of these “fradulent elections” every time crybabies get their asses handed to them.

        I always found funny that people who believe for instance than 2020 election was “stolen” do not realize that if this was in fact true, people who were in power in 2020 should be removed from power for the sheer incompetence of allowing this to happen while they were in charge. I certainly don’t want anyone that stupid to be running the country
