Hacking. Stealing away pieces to a puzzle, numbers, variables, coded hashes. Intruding upon systems where authority is taken solely as absolute… until a glimpse reveals…

For years I have voiced concerns that it would be very easy to hack an election and even many of these very examples were openly exploited during the very hacking convention I personally spoke at during 2019 (DEFCON27.)
I asked, how do we know our votes ever mattered?
They didn’t in many places.
