They did try to mess with voter rolls and mail in ballots, but it largely fizzled and would have only been a few thousand votes in places where it would not have mattered. Essentially the margin was so wide in the end there was no point in keeping up.

The ICE scenario was speculation, but as we got into October, it became less likely because it would have had to start by then to make a difference, particularly not being there for early voting meant they weren't going to be there at all. I don't think there was ever real information on that, just a "sounds like something they would do".

I'm hoping that it continues to turn out to be nothing too severe, but Stephen Miller in particular worries me, he has long openly expressed an enthusiasm for things like sending GOP national guard units into democratically controlled states. They have openly said they have a plan to "govern without Congress", but how far they can go or actually will try to go, who knows.

There's nothing strange about that. I was convinced that would happen as well, not based on what anyone at all told me, but just by observing the lengths he's willing to go to in the past to cheat elections, combined with a newfound lack of fucks given for any illusion of propriety whatsoever.

Maybe some Russian data center's got bombed...

I had such anxiety all through October, I kept thinking something really bad was about to happen regarding the elections
