that elections systems had been breached AFTER the 2020 election, putting 2024 elections at risk.
ATLANTA (AP) An effort to access voting system software in several states and provide it to allies of former President Donald Trump as they sought to overturn the results of the 2020 election has raised serious threats ahead of next years presidential contest, according to a group of experts who urged federal agencies to investigate.
The letter sent by nearly two dozen computer scientists, election security experts and voter advocacy organizations asks for a federal probe and a risk assessment of voting machines used throughout the country, saying the software breaches have urgent implications for the 2024 election and beyond. The breaches affected voting equipment made by two companies that together count over 70 percent of the votes cast across the country, according to the letter.
The multistate effort to unlawfully obtain copies of voting system software poses serious threats to election security and national security and constitutes a potential criminal conspiracy of enormous consequences, the group wrote in a letter sent to U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland, special counsel Jack Smith, FBI Director Christopher Wray and Jen Easterly, director of the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. We must protect our most sacred tenet of democracy the security of our vote."

If you're counting the spoon guy as one of those experts, his magic bullet ballots have been thoroughly discredited.

It seems to be the same absence of evidence as yesterday and the day before that.

It worked just fine. I suppose if you're invested in conspiracy theories, the sarcasm would be confusing

What actionable evidence? No, probably not. The candidate has the standing.

The article suggested the results contradicted the exit polls. The exit polls show a small Trump advantage.
