57. Nobody in CA uses Starlink to transmit voting data

Mon Nov 11, 2024, 07:18 PM

Nov 11

It is illegal to do so.
https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=ELEC&sectionNum=19205

Starlink is used in rural areas to provide internet access to poll workers to access state voter data so that provisional ballots and onsite registration can be done.

In other words, Stalink is being used to ensure anyone who is eligible can vote. Not as a nefarious plot to get Trump extra votes.
