      I agree. While the main article is goes deep into obscure (albeit interesting) machinations, your article is very on point. It starts with

      if you’re expecting a sexy story about Elon Musk messing with vote-counting software from outer space, sorry, you won’t get that here.

      And then lays down the numbers:

      — 4,776,706 voters were wrongly purged from voter rolls according to US Elections Assistance Commission data.

      — By August of 2024, for the first time since 1946, self-proclaimed “vigilante” voter-fraud hunters challenged the rights of 317,886 voters. The NAACP of Georgia estimates that by Election Day, the challenges exceeded 200,000 in Georgia alone.

      — No fewer than 2,121,000 mail-in ballots were disqualified for minor clerical errors (e.g. postage due).

      — At least 585,000 ballots cast in-precinct were also disqualified.

      — 1,216,000 “provisional” ballots were rejected, not counted.

      — 3.24 million new registrations were rejected or not entered on the rolls in time to vote.

      It continues listing concrete things people can directly influence. I liked the article, thank you soo much. Very insightful.
