Yes, these go hand in glove with the rigging of vote 'counts' on electronic voting machines and higher level vote tabulation centers. There are several threads and posts on this forum about vote suppression techniques - which were extensively used in the last election and Trump is planning on making even easier. As you point out most of the companies that make the hardware and software for electronic voting and vote counting are right-wing, often far-right. They have thrown elections for Republicans more than for Democrats, but on occasion they throw it for a Democrat too. To date, they have only been able to throw a close election - but they are gearing up to be able to be able to throw any election and if not stopped what very little remains of a semblance of a shadow of democracy will be gone - which is their goal for the Deep State.
...and welcome to the Forum!
