Read the article.
Wait, there’s more than just a headline and a summary? This changes everything
No hunny, it was just a bad dream. But you're awake and safe now, there's no such things as "articles", just headlines.
Unfortunately, it will not.
I still don't buy it. Virginia has a very robust system with scanned physical ballots which routinely audit to zero percent error. The machine turns green if the ballot is read correctly and red if it is rejected. There's not really much room for error. The idea that they fucked up a presidential count because the polling station had split congressional districts makes no sense. This reeks of vulnerability testing for a bigger score later on.
Hanlon's razor.
Is it really so hard to believe a few poll workers (who are, in my experience, mostly seniors) read the report from their local count machines (which are not internet connected) and copied those numbers into the wrong fields on the higher-level election website?
Is it really easier to believe there is a grand shadowy conspiracy publicly revealing itself with "penetrations" into the system?
Seems to me you're mere moments from coiffing an election denial hat, if you feel this way, when we still have no evidence of fraud (including in this story), I see little point in engaging with you.
