Yeah maybe. I don't know too much about American voting systems other than quite a bit of it is electronic and the process varies widely from state to state. But if you believe an election will be rigged or hacked or whatever when it's still months away you aren't relying on actual voting practices to form your opinion. I'm sure recounts are hugely expensive and should be based on apparent actual irregularities rather than feelings or fabricated poll documents. This kind of behavior is undermining democracy itself which ultimately has more dangerous long term consequences.
