Maybe, instead of asking about how who is cheating whom,

Ask instead:

Why are

Preprinted,

Hand marked ballots

That are physical counted, openly, in public,

Done by pairs from opposing parties,

That almost always gave conclusive, agreed upon results,

usually with in hours of the election’s conclusion

as was the American standard for centuries,

no longer acceptable?

Physical IDs, certainly photographic identity cards did not exist for most of the American elections from the earliest colonies through the Confederation and then almost all

of Republic the of the United States of America in both time and geography. That is over four hundred years and much of an entire continent, multiple wars including civil and world wars, plus natural disasters.

I already have to be a registered with a listed address, and marked off when I vote. It seems to have worked well for the century plus California has do this way.

But now, not only government approved and issued IDs, but internet connected ballot boxes are needed as well, that do not use physically hand counted ballots, but are scanned by hackable computers? After roughly four centuries? And just how is demanding more spying, which modern computer accessable IDs are, going to fix the new points of control?

Really, if you are not suspicious, you are appallingly ignorant.

And yes, the elites are scheming to steal elections, but it ain’t a left-right thing, it’s a power thing especially as our government is reverting to a spoils system, much as it was in the 19th century. Much of the government work is now done by private contractors who do not have to follow same laws as government employees. I suspect that President James Garfield would probably recognize the system as similar to his own time.
