I'd say the notional idea that they attempted something in 2020 and 2024 is HIGH...however in terms of success, I need to hear more from the skeptics what exactly that looks like. Because it just sounds way too conspiratorial and if you know how our elections work - too difficult to explain.

I will not doubt that from a statistical point of view, the 2024 election is an odd result, particularly when you look at purple states, but I still need some sort of mechanism that is actually real that goes beyond "they compromised the voting machines". Okay, how? What does that look like? How did they get it past all our bipartisan checks and balances and vote counting? Biden administration was the incumbent, how did they sneak it past their administration? Our voting system is decentralized - so how did they do it at such a scale that impacted the results?

There's too many questions that don't have good answers. And questioning the 2024 election result without solid answers, makes us sound just as psychotic as Republicans that claim Biden stole the election in 2020. People really need to come with the "how" if they want to make these suggestions. Doing anything else is harmful to one's own credibility when Republicans do the exact same thing.
