So with two weeks to go until the start of the weeks-long process that will be the prolonged vote counting fiasco of 2020, we've got a few stories in the news about how ballots are already being manipulated
and a few stories that should be in the news, but conspicuously aren't

to start it off, we have an arsonist destroying ballots in a drop-off box by throwing a burning newspaper in it:
https://abc7.com/fire-intentionally-set-inside-baldwin-park-ballot-box-officials/7155522/
one of the election security vulnerabilities I predicted would happen somewhere in America, and maybe be replicated elsewhere
then we've got 100,000 valid ballots mailed to wrong addresses in brooklyn and 29000 mailed to wrong addresses in PA;

and in the last 2 nights, 4chan autists have been busy digging through SoS websites for various states and found numerous vulnerabilities;

basically, they found the state websites let you invalidate votes by anyone, and maybe even change cast ballots for absentee voters, with nothing more than a name and date of birth.
this is still ongoing and its hard to tell exactly how large it is in scope, but we've got pictures of scripts set up by uzbeki hackers apparently invalidating the votes cast by thousands of oregonians, and vulnerabilities may exist in a dozen or more states
and what should be the largest election hacking story in the news right now is oddly getting zero airplay. How much is real? How much can be verified? Did they just nuke the entire election? I don't know
several states apparently shut down their online websites within hours, perhaps too late if they don't have rollback servers- and that means that legitimate users can't access their online services now
But however bad it turns out, I know the fact the media isn't even interested in the story is downright scary- zero stories about it, even as websites remain down

As for the websites and software vulnerabilities...

Sure would have been nice if Republicans had accepted the money Democrats wanted to allocate to states so they could beef up their security. Too bad they want insecure elections so they can call foul when things don't go their way

I don't think there's any amount of money that could unfuck the rollout of state-run online service websites, let alone those made in a rushed schedule before a hard deadline
'member the ACA rollout and the very good and functional websites for marketplaces and coverage comparison in all 50 states + DC / colonies? yeaaaa
If the government made a website, and it worked, that would be news. Our MNLARS system was funded in 2008, scheduled for 2013, didn't even get a contract until 2012, and wasn't released until 2016, and was non-functional and so glitchy it was unusable so the $100 million project already over budget was given another $16 million to replace it in 2019 and is still in progress.

What's up with all these fake GOP drop boxes that judges are ruling against but they refuse to move? Lol.

What's strange to me is that this has been happening for YEARS and there hasn't been a peep from your side that it's a problem. We investigated website security as an offshoot of the Russia investigation and do you know what we heard? "It's a hoax! Democrats can't accept the election results!" Now that your team is getting its collective ass kicked, it suddenly matters? Election security has ALWAYS been serious.

All of the states with fraud issues are run by Democrats.

The reality is that Democrats are just okay with cheating because the media covers their ass.

this kids, is what a 62 IQ looks like.

you may notice specimen in this range can still get a underwhelming professional career and blend in with their "normal" peers. but in a social group setting they will always expose themselves rather quickly.

The only way for Trump to lose is foul play. It can't just be that a lot of Americans are disappointed and disgusted with his Presidency. No sirree
