      Here’s the thing, He didn’t say anything that we didn’t already KNOW. He stepped out there and used the big fancy word ‘declassified’, but EVERYTHING, he said that was even half true we knew about.

      And half of that stuff that he’s trying to scream about the democrats tried to fix with election protections during Biden’s run and before. The Republicans blocked the bill (of course).

      He conflated multiple issues that we have been discussing around elections for decades, but none of the actual votes were the issue.

      The China hack? It happened. It was demographic data. We knew that.

      Are our voting machines easy to manipulate? We knew that, but not via wifi hacking typically and not at the national scale. The risk was firmware iirc not remote hacks.

      Then, he mentions foreign elections, which had nothing to do with us.

      The time it takes to count all votes? We knew that. Mail in ballots take time to count, and elections are usually called well before final counts.

      I noticed Russia was constantly absent from his list of meddlers. But bots were rampant during elections, especially about Biden and Hillary.

      He basically took everything that independent studies have said over the last 20 years and conflated it directly with voting machines.

      The outright lies were obvious. Dead people voting, etc. But a lot of it was twisted just enough. It was, as usual, outrageous.
