There was an local election in SW Ohio in 1979. One of the losing candidates sued to discover what went wrong. In 1984 or 86, at trial, it was admitted that the phone company gave orders to a technician to install a wiretap on the phone line from the
BoE's tabulators to the county's Regional Computer Center (where, back then) the votes were compiled. The wiretap was to a phone in California. Hmmmm! This is way before wireless modems, cell phones, and other such modern conveniences. High-powered lawyers were able to keep it from going too far, or maybe there was an out-of-court settlement, I forget. If anyone cares, I'll try to find the references. I know one witness was a Louis or Lewis Gates. Maybe goggle would find it. So imagine the level of equipment sophistication now, 25 years later.

With the sophisticated software in use now, it's not rocket science to gerrymander congressional districts so that now only
30-40 seats of 435 are really contestable, IIRC. So it's very possible to select precincts where a "few more votes" added to the popular total will, in aggregate, swing an election. Who has any idea what Rove was doing with his laptop evening of Nov. 2?
I'd really like an expert to hazard what might have been possible.

It would NOT take a huge conspiracy to swing a national election. It's the electoral college, stupid! Remember, FL in 2000 and OH in 2004 were the keys. In FL (537) votes in a STOPPED recount, with plenty of illegal actions by JEB and K. Harris beforehand. And in Ohio, a (118,000) vote "margin" with similar shenanigans by SoS and some local BoE's. With about (11,600)
precincts in Ohio, it would have taken, on average, a shift of just
SIX votes per precinct to change the winner. That's not a huge
conspiracy at work, just clever, targeted techniques, both sociological and electronic. That's my opinion and I'm stickin'.

I believe we are assembling a lot of evidence. In court, evidence becomes proof if the jury buys it, right? Of course, appeals to the SCOUS might be fruitless, but by then, there'll be blood in the streets. Read history of arisings over the last several hundred years; it's foolish to think that human behavior or our reaction to suppression has changed; when enough people get angry enough, look out! We're getting there, one mind at a time.
