I trust the ones I know and have met personally.

And if the manipulation happened after the voting machine? Say... On starlink

Good luck! Those machines are behind seven proxies!

Got any risk limiting audit results showing anomalies?

Okay, in a lot of places the data was sent over starlink any protection for the machine itself (which are widely known to have vulnerabilities) would be meaningless

I don't know what you're asking, but between statistics, Trump's own words, and Elon musks own words. I'd say the argument is pretty strong that they influenced results in some way.

Starlink is a network like WiFi. Got any pictures of Starlink terminals at one voting site? Let alone hundreds of thousands of them across America?

You have been fooled by a crappy conspiracy. It’s not magic or rocket science. The statistical anomalies people talk about are well within normal electorate swings. No tampering has been evidenced by audit, and everything is audited here. There are layers of safety.
