It's nearly a week since the voting, and given that I follow DU closely, just yesterday, I found out Musk and Starlnk.. [View all]

......were involved in ONLY (?) the swing states uploading voting data to tabulators, which caught my attention and gave me pause to remember this past occurrence. 2012 Obama vs Romney

I am retired from IT (10 years retired, so very, very outdated regarding technology ).

I'm going to venture a guess between the uplink of the data in one location to the ultimate downlink to who's doing tabulation and ultimately reporting the data to us, the public; the DATA could have been manipulated to benefit Trump. If the data was not traveling from one place to another via NORMAL (secured) links with the ability to trace the "transactions" that occurred during its time in transmission out of the secured election system network nationwide. IT COULD HAVE BEEN manipulated before it was returned.

I'm dating myself now, so bear with me. I'm not sure which election it was, but the good guys on our side (mostly very experienced hackers) traced the links the GOP had set up to move election tallies to a remote tabulation computer, where the data could have been massaged and returned it with the results in their favor.

So, let me back up a little. The "hackers" watched the movement back and forth of the TEST data for (days, weeks, months) I don't know, BUT they knew precisely what route it took going out and returning. So they hacked the last link in the return trip and altered the firewall so the data could not pass through it.

I REMEMBER WHAT ELECTION IT WAS IN 2012. Obama vs Romney

On election night, Fox announced the results state by state, and the race was close. But at one point, Karl Rove was waiting for Ohio's final numbers to decide who would win. The election desk called it for Obama, and Karl Rove was furious and tried to stop it, but he couldn't get the final tallies.

At the time, those watching had heard the rumor that the hackers had stopped the massaged data from returning. Of course, we could never prove it, and the GOP could not say, "Wait, if our massaged data had gotten back, we would have won."

So now back to Skylink Musk / Trump and stealing an election. They could have manipulated the results without oversight by bypassing the national election network and using Musk's Skylink communications.

Anyone who can manage this could write software to steal votes:





THESE QUESTIONS NEED TO BE ANSWERED.

While others legitimately ask about the difference between the 2020 votes and the 2024 votes for the Democrats.
Maybe STARLINK and Musk had a hand in the numbers.

REMEMBER TRUMP SAID WE DON'T NEED YOUR VOTES! Was the high-tech clandestine fix in via Musk's Starlink "back channel"?
