I'm actually starting to formulate a theory that the "hack that has been going on for months" will be the scapegoat for the election fuckery.

Deep state:

Oh..... Russia hacked the machines to make Biden win and sow distrust in our elections process. It wasn't anyone here's fault but a couple of innocent fools who left the machines plugged into the Internet

or some such nonsense. That will be how they save face...
