“The Constitution protects us from government”
Yeah, GOP money groups have spent billions getting their people elected to the state level governments that allowed them to slowly chip away at the elections. The hill that the democrats have to climb to wrestle power back is huge - and I don’t know if it’ll get done. They already had 3 million more votes the Trump…
What do government employees have to do with it? The systems are provided by large businesses, lots of them having strong ties to republican groups. It’s republicans that refused to audit their systems after being informed of breaches. It’s republicans that refused to allow the american people to know that Russia was…
“The vulnerability of electronic “
Also, once again the DHS proves itself out as a tool of white supremacy and GOP nastiness.
Trump already set the table for this with his tweet a few days ago about the Russians helping the democrats in the midterms. If Russia’s goal is to knee cap the US by dividing the country and removing all faith in our elections and institutions this would be the tactic. Sloppily hack the mid-terms for the Democrats…
The US did it to Iranian computers. It’s likely easier for Republicans or even Russians to get access to voting machines in Georgia than it’d be for the US intelligence getting access to nuclear sites in Iran. While it’s certainly hard, it’s not impossible, and I would be very surprised if the Russians were stopped by…
It’s unsettling to me how few people seem to remember the bruhaha over GOP ties to voting machine manufacturers back in 2002 or whenever, when we were all told, “nah, it’ll be fine”.
PAPER BALLOTS! PAPER BACKUPS! DAMMIT!
I wanted my Shadowrun with elves and orcs and dragons, please.
The conspiracy theorist in me thinks that the insecurity is there to both let the republicans win the elections through fraud, but ALSO there so that if they lose the election they can roll out all these vulnerabilities that “cost them the election” and demand a do-over.
Citation for your refutation? It’s shocking to think this could have happened, but times have been interesting since 2016. It’s kind of weird that Kemp, who publicly likes all manner of protecting borders and militarism, doesn’t think that the election system warrants defending.
The vulnerability of electronic voting is the quietest scandal going. I believe that vulnerability was purposely “back doored” in to those machines at the behest of the republican party in order to preserve their tyranny of the minority. Making that back door means those machines are vulnerable to any determined…
Not just that, actually ignoring and refusing to answer questions from a news outlet. I still don’t understand why the other networks just say fuck it and refuse to attend press conference, and instead run 24 hours of all the fucked up shit he does, leaving him with only Fox and Twitter as his only outlets.
Still remember the one time he criticized Fox and every Very Serious TV chattering head heroically defended the good ones at Fox or whatever.
Can you imagine how hard the right would have been trying to impeach Obama if he decided to go off on (ACTUAL fake news) Fox and not take any of their questions?
Their cruelty and stupidity have not bottomed out yet.
