    As I understand it the technology in some states is about 16 years old, so has become easier to hack. Over here the idea that Putin has something on Trump is quite widely held. Think it involves doing a no1 and prostitutes, but that might be only the start of it! Therefore it seems plausible that the Russians would take more interest in the 2016 election.

    Trump certainly seems to have a friendlier demeanour towards Putin than other autocrats.

    My missus has counted votes. You are overlooked by all the candidates, who harrang the counters mercifully the whole way through. Not much chance of fiddling with all that attention.

    Read my link above.

    The chairman of the company who makes the voting machines is a long-time Soros acolyte (he lived on his country estate when he was deputy Secretary General of the UN), Soros is a major donor to the Democrats.

    Which voting machines, which states? Every one is different. Some don't even have in person voting and are totally by mail or online.

    The Smartmatic/ SGO Corp ones, Smartmatic is the world leader in voting technology.

    They also have an online voting system.

    Having seen the Washington State Employment Agency pay out over $600M in fraudulent unemployment claims in the first couple of weeks of the 'pandemic shutdown' I'm not sure I trust the competency of any entity with online activities (public or private).

    I think you're missing the point gf. It doesn't matter who makes the machines. They don't come with a built in bias. In 2016 Putin would have seen it as advantageous to have an idiot in the White House, particularly one that they might have some influence over.

    If you have access to Sky I suggest you take a look at the programme.

    Abe Lincoln became President in a rigged ballot, and there’s every chance that every Presidential election since has also been bent.

    Joe Kennedy got the help of the Mafia to get JFK elected.
