You are supposed to be outraged that Trump's lawyers were ... invited to examine voting machines, which is somehow a data breach?

God it’s painful to read these articles. They pack so much bullshit in there to make it seem like something it isn’t. The average reader is going to give up less than a sentence in, and they know it.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (6 children)

Yea. I diddnt get it. I left.

From what I read, trump broke into voting machines in Georgia.

[–]TitsAndWhiskeyRepublican Party 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (5 children)

Trump alleged voter tampering. Requested access to machines. Got it. Held up final vote tally.

Truly, a story for the history books.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

Okay. Is this really an issue? In your opinion?

[–]TitsAndWhiskeyRepublican Party 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

It’s meaningless

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

Right.

[–]TitsAndWhiskeyRepublican Party 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Right?

Well. They do this a lot? The left has lost its mind.

I wonder how this compares to the right having control of the alphabet agencies in MLKs time.

The independent tech team examined it. They found serious problems, according to exposed privileged legal communications. They were not able to make these problems public. People couldn't be paid to listen to the serious problems found in the 2020 elections.

and judges were too cowardly or compromised

the dems will triple down as election tampering is treason - high treason for the ringleaders can get the death penalty

whole dem party could go down with the crimes committed

You're supposed to know that it was Trump's people that breached the voting system in Coffee county.

If you care about the the audit trail for voting, then you should be outraged.

To be fair, if the people of any candidate breach a voting machine, that should be done under the observation of people from the other candidates.

The reason for that should be obvious.

[–]iamonlyoneman[S] 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (21 children)

How would I know that, when there isn't even an allegation of it in any of the articles I read about it.

[–]ActuallyNot 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (20 children)

Did you read the article you linked in the submission?

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is expected to seek charges against more than a dozen individuals when her team presents its case before a grand jury next week. Several individuals involved in the voting systems breach in Coffee County are among those who may face charges in the sprawling criminal probe.

Investigators in the Georgia criminal probe have long suspected the breach was not an organic effort sprung from sympathetic Trump supporters in rural and heavily Republican Coffee County – a county Trump won by nearly 70% of the vote. They have gathered evidence indicating it was a top-down push by Trump’s team to access sensitive voting software, according to people familiar with the situation.

Trump allies attempted to access voting systems after the 2020 election as part of the broader push to produce evidence that could back up the former president’s baseless claims of widespread fraud.

[–]iamonlyoneman[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (19 children)

it is allegedly trump supporters or allegedly trump lawyers

reading the article sheds no light

[–]ActuallyNot 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (18 children)

The quoted part is the allegations that Trump's people breached the voting machines in Coffee county.

That you linked to, while saying that there isn't even an allegation of it in any of the articles that you've read about it.

Here's one that uses that as the lead Georgia prosecutors have messages showing Trump’s team is behind voting system breach

You are aware the indictment is out, right? Like you no longer have to link to articles speculating it from before it was issued?

The conspiracy to . . . examine voting machines at the invitation of the state? Like the title of my post says? That's what you're upset over? Would you be mad if you asked me to come into your house and showed me your computer and i looked at it? That's how retarded this is.

are you aware the haters can write literally anything and get an indictment for it? Have you never heard a DA can 'indict a ham sandwich?' The proof is in the puddin'.

Also I wonder why you didn't quote the whole thing like where repeatedly they cite acts of telling people to go watch the news or contact their representatives in furtherance of the conspiracy

Improper chain of command? That's already been accepted with the 2020 election. This story contains no accusation of vote manipulation; only of looking at the equipment, software, and other tech. Otherwise, I agree with your assessment and opinion.

Yes. The reason is probably only authorized people are permitted to access voting machines to prevent tampering. As Stalin said, "It's not the people who vote that count but the people who count the votes."

[–]twolanterns 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

""to access sensitive voting software""

software should be publicly inspectable

the hardware too to see if external access ports could allow tampering

election vote data in the machines might be the only thing that would need to be protected
