If Donald Trump’s administration really wants to find evidence of foreign interference in Georgia’s elections, then they need look no further than the president’s old friend Elon Musk and his shady super PAC.

Members of the Georgia State Elections Board voted Wednesday to issue a formal letter of reprimand to Musk’s America PAC over the billionaire technocrat’s illegal scheme to get Trump elected. Georgia, a key battleground state in 2024, was the target of aggressive campaigning by Trump’s team.

    Yeah, like I said, those are massive claims. I’m an experienced data scientist and I’ve followed ETA’s methods and results, and even debated with another internet election science guy about it. On the surface ETA’s data looks like evidence of something fucky, but digging a little deeper shows some potential odd methods they choose to represent stuff and not enough baseline data analysis to compare against their anomalous data analysis.

    Still, I fully believe they tried to cheat given their character and long history of cheating in every aspect of life, so I’m withholding final judgement until the lawsuits are born out.

    Would you support a hand recount in PA? I still would, just to put the whole issue to bed once and for all.

      Sure, no reason not to count again as long as it’s open and honest. But I personally doubt they will find anything major. It’s not that I don’t think Trump would cheat, but it’s hard to do and harder to get away with.

        Devil’s advocate: if they had access to the software that’s on the network-connected machines, of only 2 major brands, wouldn’t that make it easier to install malware?
