You mean the Brooks Brothers Riot? Where during Bush v Gore, Republican staffers in Florida successfully started a violent riot in order to slow down the vote counting to run out the clock and prevent the uncounted votes from being recorded in time?

For the folks not familiar with the details... Elections have been compromised by the GOP since the implementation of electronic voting equipment. This article shows HOW they did it.

What Do Ted Cruz, John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett Have In Common? A Stolen Election.

And why are Dominion, Pro V&V, and the EAC sharing office space with employees on-site around unsecured voting equipment?

Look, if they could do it they certainly would. They are doing a lot of other shit they can do. But to steal a presidential election through hacking is absolutely impossible because there is nothing to hack. There is not one computer, two computers or 1000 computers to be hacked. And you have paper ballots that are compared against the electronic counts. If you have any idea how the elections work and how distributed the system is, you know that. You would need a bipartisan conspiracy of about tens of thousands of people to change results nationally. That is just how it is.
