The Guardian has a story detailing the firing of Christopher Krebs, who served as the director of the Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (Cisa)
President Trump made the announcement on Twitter on Tuesday, saying Krebs "has been terminated" and that his recent statement defending the security of the election was "highly inaccurate".
CISA last week released a statement refuting claims of widespread voter fraud. "The November 3rd election was the most secure in American history," the statement read. "There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised."
Krebs, is a former Microsoft executive, and was appointed by President Trump after allegations of Russian interference with the 2016 election.

That depends. Did these glitches exist? Did this certain manufacturer exist?

Besides, lets use Occam's razor here. If the DEMs actually did stuff some ballots in some of the swing states, then why would some of those states collectively vote Biden for President but a GOP candidate for either Senate and/or Congressional races? If you're going to all that risk and trouble to steal an election, it would be a bit of an oversight NOT to ensure you had all three houses in the bag and as close to carte blanche as you can get for the next four years, no?

Where do you stop? Do you make it suddenly now there were folks who voted all republican on local politics/issues, but Biden/Democrat federally? That'd look even more suspicious. But if you start changing entire tickets then you're going to leave *huge* glaring statistical abnormalities. By contrast here they can try to claim there just a whole bunch of anti-Trump republicans which is 100% contradicted by polling, but it's a datum that's less optically absurd.

Have to understand historical election fraud in the US. It's very hard to prove election fraud in court.
But if you stuff ballots for every race you open yourself to more potential damaged parties and lawsuits. If you stuff ballots with one candidate only one candidate will have proper standing in the courts that will be taken seriously. It makes it harder to be challenged but is a red flag for something wrong.
Note that there are huge discrepancies in Biden only ballots in only a few states that are contested. There are no such discrepancies for Trump across the States that I am aware of.

Yeah, well, no [washingtonpost.com].
When you move off of conservative media and into the courtroom where you have to put up or shut up, there's nothing there.

Perhaps because neither Trump or Biden has coattails, and Trump has performed so terribly that he lost a bunch of Republican voters this time around.
