Scorpion

Last edited Thu May 5, 2022, 04:25 PM - Edit history (2)

Scorpion was a pretty good show on CBS for 4-years. They had one particularly prescient episode though...

We're Gonna Need a Bigger Vote
Episode aired Nov 7, 2016
TV-14


On election day, someone tries to create turmoil in the U.S. presidential election, and Team Scorpion is called to investigate.

Scorpion was half-right .. there was election interference in 2016. They just pinned it on the wrong country.

Also worth remembering that Glenn Greenwald of the Intercept seemed to signal his allegiance to Trump and Putin by presumably burning Reality Winner as the source of this story..

Before posting this I want to say that I would be surprised if the actual voting process was corrupted in some way. If only because here in Michigan the Governor ( Gretchen Whitmer) and Secretary of State ( Jocelyn Benson) seemed to have put the necessary safeguards in place.
