    That isn’t really what is at risk, that’s just a MAGA poll worker deliberately sabotaging the touch screen calibration. It might be an attempt at election theft, but what Trump is seeking to do is much more covert and you won’t even notice it. They will try to see if and where they can flip the tallies and mess with the paper trail if there is any, and that’s only on one of the levels he will be trying to steal the midterms.

      Is there confirmation that’s what happened? It’s certainly a valid theory but all I’ve seen about the two cases I read was speculation.

        It’s an informed assumption based on historical precedent and the combination of plausible deniability with level of ease to implement that only statistics can really disprove as anything but speculation. There’s also less eyes this time around because independent observers like OSCE have been prevented from participating.

        These issues are nothing new, but are so old some of the articles that have discussed them in the past are no longer even accessible:
