Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

That seems a little uncalled for. Just because the repugnicans gaslit is for the last four years about 2020 doesn't mean you get to lump anyone with suspicions in with them. They got to take their evidence to court. If the results are legitimate no one has anything to lose.
now can you tell me why electronic voting machines in swing states need to be connected to Starlink? The company notoriously owned by the man who bragged about how easy it would be to hack those same machines with "one line of code." The man who said he'd be going to jail if Trump didn't win. The man who has just been caught faking his million dollar Republicans voter registration 'lottery.' Or what Trump meant the various times he claimed he didn't need votes to win, or when he said he had an election day secret weapon? or why Elon knew the results four hours in advance? Or why MTG said on Fox two days ago the exact number of electoral votes Trump would have today?
There's a whole lot of oddities and inconsistencies. Denying them because you don't want to look like a conspiracy nut isn't helpful.
Are they though?
I read an article at some point in the last few days that said some were, for what it's worth. I'll try to look for it again.
I'd be interested in seeing that, yeah
This just got posted on not-Lemmy, it's also not the original article I read but mentions many of the same things: https://freespeechforpeople.org/computer-scientists-breaches-of-voting-system-software-warrant-recounts-to-ensure-election-verification/
This isn't the article I read but was the first thing that came up when I Googled: https://www.reuters.com/world/us/wrong-claims-by-musk-us-election-got-2-billion-views-x-2024-report-says-2024-11-04/
If you search "cyber security expert 2024 election hacking" you'll get links to some social media posts where experts are discussing what they think happened.
I know for a fact I read that some small counties had voting machines that we know can be hacked hooked up to Starlink, and it was hypothesized that if they did get hacked again an "if, then" code was used to fly under the radar and steal votes in a few key areas in swing states. I'll continue looking when I get a chance.
This one mentions starlink but also calls it a leftist conspiracy theory, which I disagree with: https://www.newsweek.com/starlink-musk-trump-election-conspiracy-theory-spreads-online-1983444

Yes because I said so. Now gear up we have a capitol to storm.
