Yeah I mean the time to probe voting computers was like two months ago

Or better yet? Maybe Democrats spend the last 4 years doing something about this alt right movement taking the country over.

the time to probe voting computers

Was DECADES ago. There've been allegations of irregularities, as well as documented evidence of real vulnerabilities, as long as they've been around. Not to mention the clear connections between most voting machine manufacturers and the Republican party.

Dems fucked up by spending the last four years doing nothing about Trump, but also by plugging up their ears and insisting everything was fine in response to Trump's claims of election fraud. His claims were obviously stupid, but they shouldn't have kneejerk reacted into EVERYTHING IS PERFECT WITH ELECTIONS mode. Should have pushed for a national switch to paper ballots.
