It's only helpful if we do something to improve the next election.
Here's the plain truth, zero speculation, it is technically impossible to have both secret ballots (which we clearly need) and secure electronic voting.
100% cannot do both. (The logic behind this is the incompleteness theorem.)

This is an interesting point. Prior to Trump II, I would have been very content for him to just fade into obscurity while peddling his preferred bile on the internet.
But at this stage, I am not willing to accept anything less than real consequences for him and his admin.

With all you know about Jeffrey Epstein, did you really want your hard-earned tax dollars to go to him?
Sorry, but they did.
In 2008, nearly $7 billion in taxpayers money went to bail out a secret offshore firm chaired by Epstein.

Jeffrey Epstein's Really Big Short
In addition to his sex crimes, Epstein ran an obscure company that accrued billions in liabilities in the same dicey securities that led to the 2008 financial crisis. Know who bailed him out? You did!

Don’t believe the hype about them, leaving Minnesota, either.
