    So? Who cares, as long as it impacts the ability of poll watchers and legal support to communicate about illegal manipulation?

        This is an example of how you can make factually true statements that are contextually irrelevant.

        When a major outage occurs on the day in US politics when 15 states all vote for their party nominees, it’s not unreasonable to question whether there was malicious intent.

        You’re like a “not all men” or “all lives matter” person barging into a conversation, hijacking a perfectly reasonable conversation to push your agenda. Just stop.
