Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Some more detail on how they cheated.

Fascinating article on rat cheating in the last election. We all know how the rats stopped the Hunter Biden story, which should alarm any decent American, but I did not know the extent of non-profit groups on the actual running of elections and how they influenced things.

The Private Takeover of Government Election Offices
The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative gave $419 million to nonprofit groups that would exercise unprecedented influence on the election. These “Zuck Bucks” were funneled through the Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL) and the Center for Election Innovation and Research, both run by activist Democrats. These groups distributed millions of dollars in grants to election officials and local governments to “help” them run their elections.
The pretext was the COVID pandemic. In reality, about 1-2% was spent on PPE for election workers. The money went to salaries, computers, car rentals, attorney fees for public records requests, mail-in ballots, and the hiring of activists who were embedded with election officials.
The money came with strings attached. Cities couldn’t use the money to fund outside help unless CTCL approved the plan. And CTCL was highly controlling. After all, they had a network of (left-leaning) “partners” to help with anything: the processing of vote-by-mail applications, whether received via mail or online, the ensuring that all forms and envelopes were understood by voters, notifying voters of rejected ballots and offering to guide them through the curing process, and the sharing of information with voters via social media, email, Internet, and text messaging. CTCL even offered to bring in “experienced” election folk who could “embed with your local staff” in days!

At minimum, you could see how Zuck Bucks would really help with get out the vote efforts. So, it’s fishy that, for example, in Georgia, of the 159 counties that received funding, Trump-voting counties got an average of $1.91 per registered voter, while Biden-voting counties took in an average of $7.13 per voter.
But there’s more. The liberal “partners” would gain a treasure trove of election data in real time. Things like daily updates on which voters were mailing in ballots, and from what counties. Imagine if Karl Rove and his team back in the day weren’t just knocking on doors but working within government election offices. Think that’d be weird? Think there wouldn’t be outrage?
Private money in elections is not new. What’s new is the embedding of private money and partisan actors within the election administration process. In Wisconsin, CTCL’s attempt for control were so great that a local official quit her job right before November. She was replaced by one of CTCL’s “partners.”
Did it work? You betcha. CTCL made a minimal investment in Florida, which moved 2 points in Trump’s direction (a 1% to 3% win for Trump, ’16 vs. ‘20). But CTCL invested enormously in Georgia. That’s where they poured over 10% of their entire (50 state) budget. President Trump went from winning Georgia by 5% in 2016 to losing it by 0.3%. Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Arizona likewise were flipped by narrow margins. Funny, those are the 4 states which received the most Zuckerberg money.
Innovative, savvy, effective — and deeply unethical.

Really sad how being ultra rich comes with such horrific back pain.
Stacey Abrams ordered in a million mail in ballots two days before the election. Hmmmm.......
