One of the most popular election-rigging theories on the right in 2020 was the "Italygate" theory that posited Italian military satellites "interfered" with American voting machines, switching votes from Trump to Biden.
Some in government took the theory seriously enough to investigate. Acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller called U.S. officials in Rome to ask about it. The White House also asked Acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen to look into it.
Some on the left ridiculed the notion that Italian satellites would be able to hack American voting machines. I wonder what they're saying today about the fantastical election-denying theory that Elon Musk's Starlink satellite internet service was used to "tabulate" votes in swing states. "Swing states were able to use Starlink in order to tally up and to count ballot votes, or voting ballots, in their state," claimed TikTok user Etheria77 in a video.
Starlink terminals are unable to "tabulate" anything, but the video has gotten almost 5 million views and remarkably, even mainstream news outlets have felt the need to debunk the theory.
Starlink terminals "were used by election officials in some states to improve internet connectivity at rural polling locations," writes Alex Demas at The Bulwark. "Starlink is not a tabulation system and was not used to count or transmit votes in the swing states."
Of course, it wasn't. But the Starlink theory is only one of several conspiracy theories that are being promoted by the left.

I keep reading this on X and have to laugh. They are clawing and scratching for ANYTHING! It’s hilarious!!!
Sore losers. Watch ‘em do the J6 at Trump’s inauguration and get away Scot-free.
Sadly, depressing in fact, a young family member suggested election fraud via Mr. Musk. I asked what kind of evidence there was to support the claim. I was told it was too ironic that Mr. Musk is now part of the administration, and shocked that I didn’t find that suspicious. I explained otherwise and mentioned real evidence from the 2020 election instead.
Young people are not tuned into the dinosaurs networks or the cable talking heads either. They get their news from instagram, Tik Toc, etc. Where we see wins piling up they will see more Leftist programming. I hope some influencers on our side start getting more traction with the next generation becoming adults.
Yes, funny but also sad and pathetic at the same time.
I'm almost thinking they won't have to as enough wrenches will be thrown in the certification process by Democrats to delay, if not stop, the required action. After all, they have promised to do so.
HaHa!! Excellent!
“How Starlink Stole the Election”
i know for a personal fact that the above is true: i received a free, unsolicited starlink in the mail, and when i hooked it up, no matter what number i dialed, i always got a personal message from Elon that said “Vote for Trump!” ...
Not much difference than the “packets in Germany” thing that some techie grifters got gullible Pillow Man to pay for.
Elon Musk hit me back first, and other tales from the left.
Trump stole the election by stopping us from stealing it fair and square like we always (and rightfully) do.
This is the easiest thing in the world to verify if it happened or not. Compare the input, if any, to the output from the Starlink system. Done. Anyone that thinks nobody would notice flips vote totals instantly is insane.
They need Mark Hamill to get into an X wing fighter asap!
There is a big difference between sending encrypted data through a satellite and sending encrypted data through a satellite that goes to a computer in Italy where a database of the vote count is ‘massaged’ and sent back to the US.
