> falsify election results

This is something that is extremely hard to accomplish in the US. It would be akin to all of Europe voting on the same day and trying to falsify an election in each country. The logistics of this means that you need a lot of participants, and someone is going to blow it (and the whole thing unravels).

That is not the same as interfering: Jackboots at the polls, screwing with the mail, ID requirements.

These two things are NOT the same.

Yet I seem to remember Al Gore winning an election, still Bush became president. Right? EDIT: link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2000_United_States_presidentia...

Falsifying votes is different from falsifying election results. All of the misinformation being thrown around exists to cast doubt on the voting system to not trust the results. So you vote, it gets tallied up, and if the result is not what you want, blame it on the supposed flaws in the voting system. The people who believe that misinformation come to your defense.

Yet it almost happened in 2020, when there was a lot more resistance against Trump in the US government, and no Project 2024.
