Somebody is conning this guy, hard.

I looked at the photos from his "Election Summit." I scrutinized the audio-visual setup. It's lame. He spent some money, though. Somebody created large-format graphics. Somebody provided a camera jib arm, and an LED video wall with all the gear necessary to get content to that wall. So he knows somebody who owns an AV company. And they don't have a lot of pride. Their work areas were sloppy. The rigging and lighting was amateur-looking.

That doesn't surprise me. I bet I would actually know whose equipment he was using; who would work for him. There's a strain of crazy crypto-Libertarianism in the AV industry. A few of them were anti-vax loonies who threw fits when clients required proof of negative tests before vaccines were available, and after.

Somebody else is conning him about what technology does and doesn't do. How computers work. How networks function. How digital data is actually organized and used. Clearly he knows nothing, but that's not unusual. What is unusual is that somebody appears to have found him and is pouring nonsense straight into his head which he repeats like an especially literal-minded parrot.

LIndell is crazy and gullible, clearly. He's replaced his crack addiction with his new mania, having made the requisite stop in JesusLand along the way. But somebody is taking advantage of him, and that's pretty evil. They're draining him dry, with his own eager cooperation.

As a pollworker, I find it extremely easy to identify the voting "skeptics" who come into my polling place, mostly because they practically always insist on (loudly) telling you how "it's all rigged" multiple times while they're waiting in line or being checked in. To each and every one of them, I extend an invitation to come watch how we close out the voting day, handle the ballots, etc, as is their right as a California voter, to help assuage any concerns they have about the integrity of their vote or the election in general.

To date, not ONE of them has ever shown up at the end of the day to do so. Makes me think they really, really aren't that "skeptical" after all.
