Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
A DHS agency said America’s elections were secure. So Trump fired its leader.

President Donald Trump fired Chris Krebs, who led the Homeland Security Department’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), on Tuesday evening — days after the agency, which is in charge of protecting elections, called the 2020 presidential election “the most secure in American history.”
Trump did so because the agency’s — and Krebs’s personal — defense of the integrity of the elections punctures Trump’s baseless claim that the election was stolen from him.
CISA’s statement rebutted many of the conspiracy theories Trump has used to claim there was some sort of wrongdoing, and said, in part, “While we know there are many unfounded claims and opportunities for misinformation about the process of our elections, we can assure you we have the utmost confidence in the security and integrity of our elections, and you should too.”
On Tuesday evening, Trump dismissed Krebs in a tweet, falsely calling the statement “highly inaccurate” and claiming that because of that, “effective immediately,” Krebs “has been terminated” as CISA direc

So how did this happen?
h/t @HoustonHusky
Diebold was 2004 when Kerry had the election stolen. The networks went crazy with exit polling that day showing an easy Kerry win.
Just a couple years ago a super model had the governorship of Georgia stolen from her with Dominion the culprit
Al Gore conceded in December. Whats the rush?
Brian Kemp’s Lead in Georgia Needs an Asterisk
If the governor’s race had taken place in another country, the State Department would have questioned its legitimacy.
NOVEMBER 7, 2018
So when did Georgia become secure? Any thoughts?????
The Democrat Stacey Abrams, a black woman, made a valiant effort to win the governor’s race in Georgia, one of the original 13 states, whose commitment to human bondage ensured that the U.S. Constitution would treat slavery with kid gloves. A state that was part of the Confederacy. A state scorched by Union General William Tecumseh Sherman in the Civil War. A state that refused to accept the outcome of that war, treating its black residents as second-class citizens—if that—until the federal government forced its hand, a century later, with the Voting Rights Act. She tried to write a new narrative for this state.
Although Abrams has not yet conceded, citing uncounted ballots, it looks as though the other side has won, and the narrative is the same as ever. Abrams didn’t have to fight just an electoral campaign; she had to fight a civil-rights campaign against the forces of voter suppression.
Indeed, I can’t quite bring myself to say that Abrams “lost,” because there’s an asterisk next to her Republican opponent’s victory.
Brian Kemp, who billed himself as a “Trump conservative,” refused to step aside as Georgia’s secretary of state; he ran for governor of a state while overseeing the elections in that state. Former President Jimmy Carter, a Georgian with much experience monitoring elections abroad, stressed that this conflict of interest ran “counter to the most fundamental principle of democratic elections—that the electoral process be managed by an independent and impartial election authority.”
Gore didn't concede because it was down to one state that was separated by hundreds of votes. Trump would need to overturn at least 2 states where he's down by over 10k. Not gonna happen.
this board always takes the word of a pathological liar over professionals
We never believe you
Hillary conceded but says to this day it was stolen. That's a fact
