Not scan.
Look up the Xerox scanning scandal in ~2013. I personally don't see how it would relate to votes, but in short:
The scanner breaks down the document into small "patches" that contain information. Each single digit/letter/checkbox is such a patch.
Then the algorithm analyzes each patch and says "Hey patch 5 as well as patch 235, 540, 823 and 1023 look very similar. In order to save space let's just save patch 5. and then put it into the correct place in the finalized scanned document". This is done to reduce the file size of the finalized document.
And guess what "very similar" is not good enough. Sometimes it thinks an I and an l look the same. Or a Q and an O. Or a 6 and an 8.
Here's an example of what it looks like: https://imgur.com/DzNx8wu
So digitizing a document is another attack vector. And with some creativity I bet it can be used for election fraud.
I think the only thing that would help is open source every hardware / software that is used. Then it can be audited. I mean people don't have to be maliceous...
Honestly any nuclear capable country would be stupid to stop having them if Joe would be at the helm.
It's the only semi decent guarantee that the warmongering left will not attack.
We saw the same shit with Killary and Syria in 2016. Wanted to establish her no-fly zones and piss of the Russians who were bombing the IS.
You can think of Russia & Putin what you want, but he's way better than the Islamic jihadists.
Killary would've escalated this conflict so fucking much and would've let the IS thrive while focusing on the "evil Russians that helped Trump!!!".
And what did happen in reality? Trump didn't establish those no-fly zones. And the IS is now basically destroyed - also thanks to the US troops that focused on the IS. Because Western countries & Russia can work together when the enemy is the Islam.
Who would've thought?
It's basically impossible if the program is complex enough.
That said some programs exist that generate high level source code (like in C) from assembly.
That source code will still lack important information that you've lost from the initial compile (variable names no longer exist, comments no longer exist) and some control statements might have changed (like if loop unrolling happened).
That kind of code though is human readable enough and you can kind of work with it.
Yeah, 5 Eyes countries are the primary suspect.
But I wouldn't put it beyond my country (Germany), even though our intelligence service usually sucks (couldn't prevent the US from accessing Merkel's phone), but we do suck Democrat tits (didn't do anything after it became clear that Obama wiretapped Merkel).
Yep, I had respect for Bernie in 2016, because he seemed to be a person who fights for what he believes in. While I don't agree with a lot of his agenda I can respect a person who does that.
His reaction after losing to Killary as well as his reaction in 2020 made me lose this respect. He is after all just another cog in the swamp wheel or as you said "useful idiot" siphoning votes from similar people.
ACLU was involved in shady business during the election in GA. This was a thread from back then:

The Xerox scanning bug that was discovered in 2013 wants to have a word with you.
A scanner's output containing things that weren't in the input document would be the first test case, yet it went through and was undiscovered for 8 years.
I think that information might be misleading here.
The name of the company is always different "FS Landscaping", "FS Total Landscaping", "FS Lawn Service & Landscaping".
If you google a bit more, you find tons of companies named "Four Season Landscaping" all over various states in the US. It's just a popular name.
The single payment of to the PA one is worth investigating (especially due to the donations), I don't think you can say anything about the rest unless one can establish a connection between the companies (same board/members/...?)
Edit: Some pede below mentioned that there seems to be a connection in the FEC Individual Contributions database. But I'll let this stand for my shame....
The astroturfing was already obvious by Clinton shills in 2016. r/politics was completely unusable for anyone who wasn't a fan of her. Then - after the election it suddenly went away and normal people could discuss it again.
This time it was even worse. It started earlier and went to new heights - they didn't even try to hide it anymore. I bet it will continue until 2021.
But I doubt there is anyone left who will visit that shit of a sub after it stops until the next election.
To add:
The "distance" between 1 and 2 is "1". If you look how much of the initial number the distance is it is 100%. (1 out of 1 is 100%).
Now if you look at the distance between 2 and 3. It's also "1". But how much of the initial number (2) is this 1? It's 50% (1 out of 2 is 50%).
This goes up to the distance between 9 and 10. Again the distance is "1", but it's now only 1/9 of the initial number, so roughly 11%.
So you unintuitively need more "steps" to cross the distance from 1 to 2 compared to 9 and 10. This results in the observed behaviour that follows the law.
God I feel you. Especially the vegans/vegetarians. "Well, if you saw how an animal would be killed you wouldn't eat meat either".
Then I tell them the story when I visisted my best friend's house (grew up in a small village), since they were slaughtering a chicken.
And how we helped plucking the chicken, then played with its chopped off head while we waited for dinner. And how we - when we were teens - were allowed to behead them.
Then I ask if I should tell the stories about my sister's best friend's parents who had rabbits. Or the cows in our village. Sadly I'm rarely allowed to tell them.
City folk rarely has a clue how life really works.
If you look at both sites their respective frontpages are full of Trump.
And that's their problem. They are not enthusiastic about their candidate. There are less people for Biden then they were for Hillary.
The only thing they run is "Not Trump". That isn't going to get people to vote, especially when you fear that you'll lose / your vote doesn't matter. "Meh, rather stay at home and REEEEE on twitter about Trump!" instead of attending rallies & voting.
They have no energy. They will thus lose.
It was yesterday (or maybe the day before that) when someone here linked a Biden rally. The whole rally vod was ~1hour and 15min long.
Biden entered the stage at ~53min and ended the rally. He was talking for roughly 22min.
And that shitter Mark complains about 51min...
Identity politics are the reason for that narrative. They are chained to it. It dictates all their thoughts & actions & reasoning.
They imagine the worst thing (a conservative white straight man) and apply that template to their political enemy. They think this person is so evil that everyone else agrees with them.
Women would obviously be against that ultimate evil and cannot vote conservative!
Obviously has nothing to do with reality.
You are not fighting to win the left. That is a lost battle. There's nothing to gain there.
You are fighting to win the middle. You want people who have morals, but are still unsure about the presidency. A person thinking "The left and the right are two sides of the same coin." who is not voting at all is a lost vote.
And they are at each others throat as well.
"You didn't vote Clinton in 2016, thus YOU ARE AT FAULT!!!!"
Instead of rallying and uniting under a common goal "We need to prevent another 2016" they hate each other. This divide will end in the same result.
It's beautiful to watch.
Very unlikely that it happened.
The US Army cannot just raid a German business here in Germany. They would cooperate with our local police. Thus most likely the news would've known something about it / reported it, but there's just nothing about that.
From a technical point of view it also doesn't make sense. You don't have your servers in house. You have them in large data centers. Frankfurt is a place with tons of data centers, yes. But it's not like you go into a data center and say "The servers of company X please" and get them. It would've disrupted other companies' servers as well. And again we hear nothing about that as well.
And lastly, it all originated from a single twitter account. From a complete nobody random person.
