Ap news had a good article about how our voting machines are completely vulnerable to first hand attacks. I think they figured out how to do it. They had a LOT of help.

That could be an explanation if there wasn't a massive drop in turnout, which has a paper trail.

Turnout is irrelevant when the ability to hack the machines is well known. https://apnews.com/article/election-security-voting-machines-software-2024-80a23479d8a767ba9333b2324c4e424b

Paper trail.

Hacking the machines would be useful for complaints that the counts weren't accurate, but wouldn't affect turnout. Republicans got the numbers they were expected to get, the lack of turnout hurt the Dems like it always does.

I agree. Let's do a paper ballot recount. See if they match what the machines say.
