Sorry, but this just don't seem right to me.

Tulare County, California
Baldwin says access to connectivity was improved this year thanks to Starlink satellite internet.

"Our laptops and our connectivity, that worked really well. In 2020, a lot of problems we experienced were due to slow connectivity at our polling places. We purchased Starlink for our sites, so as far as the connectivity that worked was awesome," says Michelle Baldwin.

She adds early technical difficulties with a tabulator machine were quickly fixed and did not impact the vote count. - ABC

at each polling place and then use Starlink to send it to the election headquarters (connectivity) to add to the state’s tally, using a double check method. How do you think we get the numbers so quickly from huge states with huge populations and from rural states with remote polling places? Our technology is sophisticated enough to separate tallying from communicating.

The quote of "early technical difficulties with a tabulator machine were quickly fixed and did not impact the vote count" is a screaming Red Flag event with Klaxons, sirens and flying monkeys.

The numbers add up. Because we think Musk had the technology and opportunity to change votes. Because the entire Trump Criminal Family (Bannon, Flynn, Miller, Stone, Carlson, etc.) would do anything to make sure Trump won. Also, there were several billionaires shelling out money.

Some folks say votes can’t be changed or states can’t be rigged. They obviously did not see Karl Rove melt down on Live FOXTV IN 2012 when Ohio was called for Barack Obama, securing his second term which they had vowed, he would not win.
