My son, who is a career army sergeant, is a computer whiz and can do a lot of stuff he says he doesn't do. He said something interesting about voting machine manipulation. There was a video out before the election with a detailed demonstration of how a voting machines could be hacked from a central location and could be set to read out believable results with a proportional tally system. I wasn't sure about all that, being computer illiterate as far as stuff on the other side of the screen and forwarded him the video with a ? . He emailed back that yes it was possible, not so easily as the video portrayed but quite doable. He said that a lot of geeks were aware of it and there was a digital struggle before and during the vote with geeks countering a major attempt. He wouldn't say whether he participated or just "observed" digitally. He said the hacker(s?) trying to do the manipulation were not expecting to be countered so they did not work to firewall their efforts. I don't know. Son doesn't make up stories, though, in my experience.

Sounds like the video was Bev Harris’s “Fraction Magic” which went viral.

She’s pretty on point about electronic voter fraud, even though I don’t think she identifies as a conservative.
