    Providers of voting machines have skewed GOP in their donations since Bush 43. Variations of voting results from polling have been strongest in Ohio and Florida.

    Obviously this is yet more extreme corruption, but election rigging is possible/likely happening without this embarrassment. Vote rigging is more subtle than buffoon in chief thinks it should be.

      Excuse me? The companies that make voting machines donate to a political party? Please tell me you’re joking

        The guy that ran the voting machines in the 2004 elections, and before, Diebold was the company name I believe, was a big Bush supporter and was on record saying he would do anything to help the republicans win.

        This is nothing new, and you can draw a straight line from the successful stealing of the 2000 electon to 2020.
