Honestly, it's just pointing out the obvious at this point.

But... We all know damn well that if Trump was in this electoral situation right now the race would've been called already.

    > Concerns also exist about the companies' software and hardware supply chains. A report released last month by Interos found that at least one major voting system vendor sourced parts and components out of China, where U.S. officials have raised general concerns about supply chain compromise. The report did not identify the vendor, but witnesses from all three of the major manufacturers acknowledged they relied on Chinese-made gear. Lawmakers expressed concerns that such hardware and software could open the door to compromise or sabotage by bad actors.

However, he acknowledged that for at least one of ES&S' machines, the DS200, one of its nine programmable logic devices is sourced from a California company that produces the part in China.

    Dominion Voting Systems CEO John Poulos and Hart InterCivic President Julie Mathis said their companies use Chinese-made LCD screen components, chip capacitors and resistors, arguing that in some cases there's no option for manufacturing those parts in the United States.
