I'm a little amazed at the number of DUers who are willing to join a "they stole it" conspiracy theory.

172. I have worked at very secure sites

the systems they use are behind 1/4" thick copper plates on all 6 sides. Even the power lines that enter those "tempest" rooms are routed through electrical isolation, networking? LOL surely you jest! The machines do not even have USB ports. Forget about trying to hide a USB key in or out. You go through a man trap.. marine guard at the first door... checks you in with eye scans and fingerprints.. you go into another room that has two marines behind bullet proof glass. this time they ask you to answer a series of questions... they have a gun port into your enclosure. Finally you get access to the machine room. The system inside runs MLS on Secure Linux ( a special version of Linux for Secure sites ). this gets you access to the project you are working on inside... and only that data. And even then they are paranoid about what you ( as admin ) might get access to. This is Eric Snowden territory... all created because of Snowden.

These are actual secure computers. The source code is checked and rechecked. Only US citizens are allowed to create the software that runs... most have security clearances.

Our voting machines are a joke compared to these. Only protected from rudimentary hacks.

Could we have cheated in 2020? Sure. Did we? I have no evidence. All I know is that it is possible. And one other thing. Projection is very strong in the GOP. in MAGA. Whatever they have accused us of doing, it is because they either do it themselves or wish they had done it or they justify doing it because they THINK we did it.

And they have smarter people that can do what I am talking about... people that work for Putin and have had years now to perfect their hacks... if they did it. Again, I have zero evidence that anything happen. Maybe a lot of Latino men and black men think that having a woman president is the worst thing... there was an interview of a latino family... illegals that became citizens with Reagan's amnesty program... and they voted for Trump because "now the illegals are criminals" ( I suspect they only watch Faux ). I guess they really don't see the irony in this ( they were criminals when they entered the USA 40 years ago ). but I keep coming back to 2 facts - DJT is a horrible person that did not grow his base at all, and the polls, even by reputable pollsters, were off by 2X or 3X the margin of errors in their polls.
