Can't hack the election if the US government is stopping the hacking.

Can't hack election if no election

Oh, but you can always have a fake election. That’s how many totalitarian dictatorships work these days. Just follow the example given by North Korea and China. In a system like that, you could technically hack the numbers, but it won’t matter if the people who read the numbers have already decided what they want to see.
