According to many suspicions and now also reported from an NSA agent that was involved in the investigations, Harris beat trump by a wide margin. The voting machines had been tampered with in order to fix the election, and that the machines used have more or less been vulnerable to this happening and likely has been happening for the last 15+ years, allegedly.

So we may not have voted for this. Not to mention the hard gerrymandering that has been happening for the past 20 years. (There's pretty much always been gerrymandering, though).

It's concerning that I see no real momentum picking up over this and voter roll purges, and all the bomb threats on election night that absolutely no one wants to talk about.

It feels like the conservatives have poisoned the water on election "stealing" rhetoric so well, so that now, when there is evidence and patterns that deserves to be picked up, no one wants to do it at the risk of, "being like them."

And that is dangerous logic when dealing with bad faith actors with power, access and motive.
