Although, is having an election such a real thing in these days? I remain convinced the last was stolen and trump IS an illegitimate president. No conspiracy theory, just common sense and counting the number and skill/experience level of individuals involved with the tech which could do such a thing. The myriad reports coming in from over the country just goose the feeling. Not that it can help us now... the Founders never considered an election where it could be stolen completely behind the people's backs.
I think they'll do the same thing again in 26 and in 28. How far they get in 26 determines 28 attempts. I hate to say a lot of our hope for preserving democracy in 26 is dependent upon a feud between two main evils - trump and musk. And I wonder how many of the other tech bros could take over control and hacking of satellites, or set up other tech gizmos to do the deed.
I'm not so concerned about there being an election, as I am that the election is truly free, fair, and legitimate. I'd very much like to see the UN and some appointed nations oversee the election, verify and validate that it's all on the up and up... including using their own eye in the sky spy innovations to keep an eye on any hanky panky that could go on thanks to tech and satellites. But, I admit, that's just my opinion, and I'm more than a wee bit cynical at this point. Regardless, I WILL still vote. I just want my vote to actually count for as much as it can, seeing I'm true blue in a very red state.
