One of the leftwing advocacy groups trying to get Trump kicked off 2024 ballots now claims the rightwing conspiracies that led to voting machine breaches in 2020 will result in security breaches during next year’s election.
It’s one of the more convoluted conspiracies about the upcoming election we’ve read, most surprising is that it’s being reported by the Associated Press (AP), once reputed to be the most credible news agencies in the U.S.
The mainstream media’s conspiracy report goes something like this:
People like former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters who believed voting systems were corrupt, breached those systems to prove their theories, and in the process, corrupted the system for the 2024 election.
The lefties have fired off missives to numerous federal law enforcement agencies demanding an investigation to prove their wild imaginings.
The letter from Free Speech for People reads:
“The multistate effort to unlawfully obtain copies of voting system software poses serious threats to election security and national security and constitutes a potential criminal conspiracy of enormous consequences,” the group wrote in a letter sent to U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland, special counsel Jack Smith, FBI Director Christopher Wray and Jen Easterly, director of the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. “We must protect our most sacred tenet of democracy — the security of our vote.”
From the AP:
Authorities in three states — Colorado, Georgia and Michigan — have charged people in connection with breaches at local election offices, but there has been no public indication of a federal probe.
Just so we’re clear, when Trump supporters believe the election was corrupted by machines and tried to prove it themselves, they are accused of tampering with elections.
But when Democrats believe an upcoming election will be corrupted by machines and tries to prove it by using federal investigations by people many consider to be corrupted, it’s worthy of the national media coverage praising their actions.
Or maybe we’re just cynical.
