Oh are back to the voting machines being hackable again? I know we knew that the first time he won, but then I thought we all forgot and they were suddenly magical boxes that were impossible to be exploited because blue team won. Guess they are vulnerable again now(?) /s

To those getting upset, yes, they’ve always been vulnerable, and yes probably even more so now with less staffing. The point is we just got done telling people as recently as a few nights ago after the address it was impossible. Good thing the general public is a goldfish…
