Who the Hell is Heather Cox Richardson Anyway, & Why Do I Care What She Says?

I've been invoking FB's 30-day-snooze feature left & right over the past few days because my blue-voting acquaintances have been driving me quite mad with their endless quotations from Heather Cox Richardson.

I’m inviting you to be not okay with me. As Heather Cox Richardson says…I don’t know who Heather Cox Richardson is but her banal

I'm curious what your thoughts are on the latest: "Starlink Election Conspiracy". I would post a link to some news site, but seldom know which is appropriate. haha

Basically, the tallied voter data shows that a significant amount of people voted Democrat all the way down the ballet, except for El Presidente. And this was very prevalent in the states that mattered most: swing states.

I will provide two reddit posts though (not real sources by any means, but a topic I wasn't aware of):

Honestly, I don't know what to make of this.

It's entirely credible to me that Musk et al would manipulate election results, though "credible" doesn't mean "it happened." But, sure: This is how democracy would end in the digital/satellite age.

And it's also credible to me that Swing States would go for Dems on the down ballot but not for the ticket headers. Dems over-estimate the extent to which voters are prone to vote the straight ticket.

I suppose the only way to get the real skinny would be a whistle-blower inside Starlink. Since techno-Geeks are easy to manipulate, the opposition needs to groom some Mata Haris. 😀

All fair points! I read somewhere ("somewhere" being irrelevant, because I forgot to save the link, oops) that the amount of occurrences was historical. This came from a guy that did the digital fraud-testing and risk-mitigation for the Obama administration. I'll need to dig and find where I read that.

If this is at all legitimate, I'd be surprised if this current administration doesn't look into auditing specific states and specific counties with a hand count. I just don't want to fall under the same "stop the steal" manipulation that easily controlled the Brain Trust that are MAGA voters.

How-ev-er...Elon and Theil aren't dumb. And tend to get their way.

The big argument against the Starlink Election Theory is that voting machines are manufactured without Internet access. Or at least, this is what we are told. 😀

So, I suppose Step One might be figuring out if voting machines can have Internet access. That would involve getting one's hands on either a voting machine or legitimate voting machine specs.

Though as I say, living in Trumplandia as I do but having helped get a left-of-center first-term Dem-aligned Congress critter elected-which involved marching up to those doors with Trump signs on the lawn & arguing for him 😀-I am inclined to think the Dems are in denial about the unpopularity of the top of their ticket.
