If your concerns are unmoored and dependent on advantage, then you have an integrity issue

Very interesting.  From A year and a half ago, it was the left that was (or pretended to be) concerned about election fraud by Neo.

She is reminding us of the fervent fear of the left a couple of years ago that new voting machines would be structurally unsound and subject to gross fraud and manipulation.  From the reliably hardish left Guardian.  

Over the two articles, the Guardian is raising most of the issues which now are meandering their way through the court system.  It looks like they were prescient in their reporting, just that it ended up being their own side who did the manipulation.  

Citing passages from the Guardian articles:

Let me translate. As far as I can tell, this bill only dealt with the prohibition of states’ contracting with election machine firms owned (or “influenced”) by foreign entities, rather than with more major issues with election machines that have come to the fore in 2020. In addition, no matter what the Guardian was predicting would happen to the bill, it died in the Democrat-controlled House. So the Senate never voted on it.

One of the advantages of garnering your news from many different sources is that not only do you get out of your current bubble, but, with lots of different people with different experiences and focuses, you are likely for them to cite information from the past that bears on the present.
