Is there a conversation that needs to be had around the security of voting machines? Yes. Is America's electoral system fundamentally flawed? Yes. Should election machines be audited and held to the highest possible standard of information security? Yes.

Does this achieve any of that? No.

A lot of people had open minds about this whole situation, and I commend them. But it was obvious from the beginning this was going to go nowhere. It's the same with every conspiracy theory, someone claims to have proof but won't or can't show it for some reason. Whatever reason that is changes with the wind. The claim that the elections were hacked to give Biden the victory has now boiled down to con men conning other con men.

There's no evidence that the voting machines or that voting is fundamentally broken. It's probably not that hard to fake a single vote, but it's exceedingly difficult to fake them in bulk, in a systematic manner.
