But Brian Kemp is Georgia's governor, and Roy Moore is Alabama -- and Cornyn, Abbott, and Cruz are Texas ... and McSally is Arizona, and I think Tom Cotton is Arkansas.
We have the LCBO up here, but small private companies deliver it. It's sort of one of those "maybe not technically legal, but nobody complains so they just let it happen..."
One cannot prove the non-existence of a thing which does not exist.
Not so. I hear this a lot, but it's not true. We can prove the non-existence of something which could reasonably be expected to leave evidence. Examples include:A recent global flood.A hand grenade exploding in my family room.My bank info being stolen and my account cleaned out.
And of course there are things that could exist which may not be provable.
Your advice here would work, although it is not the only solution. Here in Washington State we get our paper ballot a couple of weeks before the election. We vote, and drop it off in the mailbox. Large-scale shenanigans are difficult to imagine, and the results are never in serious dispute. The voting is also "spread out" over a couple of weeks, so folks with minor medical emergencies, caught in blizzards, working overtime, etc. can usually still find the time for it, and drop it off at their mailbox.
People who do not support these sorts of arrangements do not want honest results.
Smart hackers, which I assume Vlad's troops are, would develop repeatable, well-documented paths into any systems in question and not leave any breadcrumbs behind on their way out. That is, you wouldn't find any malware, or likely any evidence it was ever there, on a computer they weren't actively penetrating at the moment you were looking. Unless you're building a botnet (or you're an amateur), which Vlad's folks certainly aren't, you don't leave stuff on a hacked computer between visits.
Finding competent hackers is hard, which is why you need to keep them out in the first place. Once they're in, you're fucked. The moral of this story, from someone who's spent decades in this field, is that reactive security is just theatre - if you're not proactive, you're doomed.
There's this idea that a breach can be thwarted in real-time by multiple people typing on the same keyboard that's hooked up to two (or three, or four) monitors, or that you can "get the bad guys" after the the crime has been committed.
I dislike the term "hack" as a catch-all. I prefer to call these crimes what they are: breaking and entering, theft, grand larceny, hijacking, hostage taking, etc. "Hack" or "meddle" is a grossly inaccurate description and feeds a false narrative.
It is ALWAYS FL's fault- I know trust me.

Well -- Pam Bondi.

So ... plenty of crap to go around
it helps the minority party to stay in power.
This kind of fuckery goes on in all businesses. 99% of which you, as the product consumer, never hear about.

In an alternate universe it's a horror movie on the Wonket Movie Channel

My ISP is fantastic, but they're small and local so unless you happen to be in Southern Ontario, that won't help you.
Finally a 1st place finish for Orange Thunder. He's number 1!
Just because there’s no bombs or bullets, people don’t see it as an attack. We really need to rethink that.

Security and privacy nerds have been sounding the alarm about this since the idea was first raised by Republicans in 2002.
Point well taken, but think about where elections go to die by hanging chads and other fuckery
