Two Old Combat Soldiers with a Microphone: Are US Elections Secure?

Trump and his team complained so loudly about a stolen 2020 election, hundreds of his followers stormed the Capitol to stop the Electoral Vote count, causing a riot that led to deaths on both sides and demonstrated that MAGA supporters quite happily refuse to comply with law enforcement instructions. They demonstrated a willingness to use violence against law enforcement officers if necessary to protect their understanding of their rights. The Harris campaign conceded peacefully, and no one on the left has violently protested the election result that made Trump President again, but that doesn't mean some on the left don't question the result. Many liberals might rather believe Trump stole the election than believe that so many Americans wanted him back. Scott and I briefly discuss some of the claims made by both sides, and then discuss why the possibility of changing the result of a US election by interfering with voting machines or mailed ballots is close enough to zero that it might as well be zero. He shares his decades of experience and training to let viewers know more about how election systems work, why they're not vulnerable to the hacking (a word we both hate in this context), and why we can trust the results, even when we lose. This doesn't mean a faction can't influence the results on other ways. Next week, we'll dig into what that might look like, including an analysis of the SAVE Act.
