"I just wanna say thank you to all our poll workers, inspectors for making yesterday an amazing day. We didn't have long lines after 8pm, everyone got processed and through those lines quickly. And that is due to all their hard work and dedication that they do out at the poll sites," said Tulare County Registrar of Voters Michelle Baldwin.

Baldwin says access to connectivity was improved this year thanks to Starlink satellite internet.

Elon Musk's Starlink is involved with connectivity to poll sites?

It seems stupid not to take a look. Musk was all in for Trump & his disinformation on twitter
