"A software error, not a cyberattack, caused a problem that resulted in nearly 120,000 voters being left off the printed voter rosters at Los Angeles County polling places in California's June primary, county officials said Wednesday.
An independent review by IBM Security Services concluded that the county's software to keep track of voters didn't recognize a change in the format for voter data provided by the state. As a result, the software discarded the birthdays for 118,509 voters, determined they were too young to vote and did not include them on the printed rosters used at polling places."

I think you're seeing what you want to see. I slap people down when their Trump Derangement Syndrome is acting up but why would I care if the Republicans do something anti-conservative? I'm not a conservative by any stretch of the imagination. I'm a liberal. You're a progressive. The two used to be the same but haven't been even similar for a long time now.

It's a bitch, isn't it? During our young lives, we were presented with reasons to be liberal, and reasons to be conservative. The two parties courted us as youngsters, each hoping to snare more voters. As we matured, each of us found reason to be liberal, or to be conservative, or in some cases, to be both, or neither, or something else entirely. And, of course, hordes of other people just "dropped out", never even bothering to register to vote.
Today, those same parties have abandoned their conservative and liberal positions, and each has become something else.
No one really knows what the two parties are today. Not even the die-hard Democrats or Republicans.
"I vote X because my daddy and my grand-daddy voted X" hardly seems a valid reason to vote.

Oh, I could give you a few hundred accurate adjectives. Some interesting nouns as well.
