The CISA employees repeatedly told the political appointees that their request was impossible, in part because the agents capable of pulling off such an operation had just been laid off by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency initiative. The appointees eventually stopped pressing CISA.

So once again, democracy saved only due to the incompetence of this administration and Musk.

Hopefully they'll try and rig the election but do so in such an incompetent manner that it all just falls apart on its own.

That's the only hope I'm really holding out for. Everything they've tried to do has been sloppy and disorganized, they're unintentionally pushing the world towards EVs and renewables.
