Tbf this is less stealing and more skewing it to be less democratic, just like they did with gerrymandering.

Now what musk did last time with a lottery for each Republican voter, that was corruption and feels more like stealing. Or the thing where a bunch of Republicans broke into a voting place and started dissecting machines and votes, that's stealing. Or when he effectively committed treason against the US on January 6. Or when he attacked poll workers, using stochastic terrorism against them and therefore trying to make the polling places more partisan. Or any of the uncountable similar things he did that slowly chip away at the legitimacy of the US as an independent democratic nation.

Maybe I'm being facetious but I wanna give the bad things the right words.
