Dems have been bemoaning possible foreign interference and IT shenanigans in elections for at least since Diebold systems and software were in the mix for about 10 years now.
Our current election system is part of our Federalist system of governance. In this instance, each state and locality is not subject to the dictates of DC in how they run their elections. Given that, the kind of national security concerns that drive IT policy on weapons, defense, and other systems does not get filtered down to the states.
All the above said, does anything about this strike anyone else besides myself with some significant questions and concerns about how this current election was run? My question is particularly directed to leftist True Believers who insist that these are not the droids you are looking for.
