I don’t believe that theory. How does an ISP impact the functionality of a voting machine, especially when they have paper copies of the ballots? It’s not like they were running SpaceX software on the machine, just using it as an Internet connection to report results to a centralized database. Conspiracies like this are what we fought against in 2020, when the QAnon fools thought Hugo Chavez and Dominion stole the election from Trump.

I’m with you, it’s really disappointing seeing it get this bad. It feels like Missouri has been trying it’s hardest to catch up to Texas and Florida, in fighting the culture war. Example: one of the Republican candidates for governor wants to get rid of the state’s department of education.

It’s not cool to generalize a whole region like that. You act as if the whole Midwest is a hive mind.

These were fantastic comments. Thank you for providing all this information, along with citing sources.
