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.

Really? If you have proof that happened, you should give it to Trump. I'm serious. He really needs the help right now. He's got a hotline for it. His lawyers just can't seem to prove that even one vote was wrong or fraudulent.
Don't give him money though, he's a highly successful businessman, he really shouldn't need a GoFundMe for his legal expenses.

You are a very poor reflection of how propagandized the American media machine has become. There have already been numerous 'irregularities' discovered with ongoing audits and investigation. By the mainstream media is currently colluding to avoid giving it any coverage, whatsoever. Most recently, in the audit that's ongoing in Georgia a 9,626 vote error was discovered by an election monitor. For some reason a basket of votes was labeled as 10,707 for Biden and 13 for Trump. Turns out it was 1081 for Biden and 13 for Trump. This egregious mistake had been signed off on by two election officials. This comes after multiple memory cards that were never scanned during the election were also discovered - all cards were net +Trump votes. A recurring theme is that every single 'mistake' seems to favor Biden.

Again, if you have proof, take it to someone that can do something with it. I'm just a lowly internet person. What do you want me to do, go out and start rioting and looting over the election?
It's not about the American media machine. It's about the courts. And according to Trump's own lawyers, there is not a single shred of evidence of anything you are talking about. They've been asked directly. They've given direct answers. Either Trump needs better lawyers - and I would think he'd know who are the best lawyers because he's probably seen all of them in court at some point - or it's not possible to prove his case.
I'm not interested in hearing about allegations of illegal behavior when I know that the issue is already being litigated, meaning that soon I'll have a better answer from the courts than I could expect out of any media organization. Or internet rando.

And you know about it because it was caught and corrected. So after burning a couple million dollars trying to salve Trump's bruised ego, nothing changed. Note, the Secretary of State in Georgia is in charge of running the election and any audits of the process. He is a Republican, as is the Governor.
These kind of errors happen and get caught and corrected in every election. They happen any time we try to count millions of anything.

Numerous, but not enumerated or detailed. Reported by AC but not backed up by anybody standing in front of a judge. Hearsay, but not evidence.
Yawn.

And you are a very poor reflection of reasoning and evidence. Fix your reflection first.

If you have proof, go to the Lt. Governor of Texas. I think he's still offering one million dollars/pesos. Still no takers.
