NYT 'right wing conspiracy theory' comes true the next day

Politics

The New York Times did a hit piece on rumors involving a voting software company. They claimed that the story was an election-denier conspiracy theory. The next day the CEO was arrested for charges related to allegations of sending poll-worker information to China.

The New York Times frequently acts as a quasi-official mouthpiece for the FBI. The original report may have been an effort to torpedo local law enforcement:

Back in 2020, Biden famously bragged about having “the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics”:

Based on recent reporting, that organization may include the government of China, the FBI, and the New York Times in addition to officials in a voting-software company. That would be an amazing accomplishment for a man who has trouble finding his way out of a room without assistance.

The NYT laughably screwed up the story.

Mike Cernovich has no room to criticize them.

What does it say about the FBI if they leaked information to the NYT in an effort to derail the local investigation?

It sounds a lot like obstruction of justice.

That they’re corruptly consistent? :thinking:

The conspiracy of what Konnech was supposedly doing and what the CEO was arrested for are two different things. Yu is not being accused of doing anything with voter data but with the data of poll workers.

That is what is lost here.

And to reiterate… Mike Cernovich has no right to say anything about any news organization getting a story wrong like ever.

But if they have poll workers data to China, obviously they fraudulently changed votes so Biden could win.

As was every other election services company.

This is just the tip of the iceberg…

:rofl:

By the way, it is both hysterical and pathetic that True the Vote keeps trying to claim credit for investigations in which they had zero role.

What would China want with poll workers’ data?

If the alleged data had gone to Russia, would the NYT have had the same response?

It’s not even that they “gave” this information to China, but that information was stored on servers in China. Still bad, but different from “giving” China something.

A safe assumption is that the Chinese government has access to any data stored in China.

Not gonna argue with you there.

Gee, Twitter didn’t even have time to ban the story as election denying misinformation before it was proven true.

Get rid of digital voting. Paper ballots are faster anyway. And a lot of US don’t trust the current system which is bad for our republic.

That sounds like a “you” problem.

But for real, just because some people don’t trust the current system (cough cough … just because you lost … cough cough) doesn’t mean anything is actually wrong with the system.

So, you don’t care if your fellow Americans think the voting system is dishonest?

16

Not in the slightest. They can think it’s dishonest all they want, it doesn’t make it true.

It does not matter if it’s true, what matters is people should believe their vote counts. But you don’t seem to think so. Which actually makes me believe you and much of the left also believe the system is rigged, you just like it rigged.

There were MANY legal challenges after the 2020 elections. I don’t think that any of them provided evidence that someone’s vote didn’t count. Or was counted incorrectly.

That matters. The truth matters. Making a lot of noise about “trust in the system” is just that, noise. If you want to fix something that’s broken, first prove that it’s broken … not that you FEEL like it’s broken.

I don’t think the system is rigged.

This case has nothing to do with elections or voting.

Paper ballots are still the vote of record for a lot of states.

Even in France, they have vote counting machines. It’s just that the paper ballot is considered definitive.
