Every government information system should be considered compromised.

There's a reason Trump confidently said Blue states will go away.

I feel like I'm saying this phrase alot these days, but to the article writer... No shit Sherlock.

fElon came out and essentially said they were rigged. Yet no one seemed to care enough to look into that.

“Vote for me and we’ll fix it so good you won’t have to vote again”

”Thanks to Elon for all his work with the voting computers”

This is the plan. Somebody let the fox into the henhouse. We need to expel it.

Trump and MAGA are enemies of freedom and democracy.

We’re under a hostile government take over.

People now voicing “regret” for voting for Trump can go fuck themselves.

Congress had 4 years to stop this from happening, they did nothing.

SCOTUS didn’t have to slow down Trump’s prosecution or give him full immunity for treason but they did.

We’re all fucked. Even if Republicans are decimated in 2026, it will be too late.

There won't be another election, so why do we need people providing security for the election systems?

Yes, that is why.

Because that's how Don The Con wants them to be.

We were repeatedly assured that the last election was secure. I’m wondering if they were just looking at the safety *while* voting and never making sure the software (?) was secure.

I feel like it was rigged…how could Trump sweep all these states? Just doesn’t seem possible.

This is part of the revenge Tour. Thats why they were angry the last time. Only screens about sealing something are the sealers ?
