The numbers feel too coincidental and so a theory like space-based voting machine fraud doesn't seem as outlandish as it should. At the same time, it attributes to these people a level of finesse and planning that I just don't see from them.

The brute force "suppress votes and lie constantly" is much more Trump's style. It's basically his whole brand.

I agree. While the main article is goes deep into obscure (albeit interesting) machinations, your article is very on point. It starts with

if you’re expecting a sexy story about Elon Musk messing with vote-counting software from outer space, sorry, you won’t get that here.

And then lays down the numbers:

— 4,776,706 voters were wrongly purged from voter rolls according to US Elections Assistance Commission data.

— By August of 2024, for the first time since 1946, self-proclaimed “vigilante” voter-fraud hunters challenged the rights of 317,886 voters. The NAACP of Georgia estimates that by Election Day, the challenges exceeded 200,000 in Georgia alone.

— No fewer than 2,121,000 mail-in ballots were disqualified for minor clerical errors (e.g. postage due).

— At least 585,000 ballots cast in-precinct were also disqualified.

— 1,216,000 “provisional” ballots were rejected, not counted.

— 3.24 million new registrations were rejected or not entered on the rolls in time to vote.

It continues listing concrete things people can directly influence. I liked the article, thank you soo much. Very insightful.

That argument is straightforward and clear and should be spread more widely than it is.
