On November 13, 2024, seven election security experts sent a letter to Kamala Harris, beginning with the stark warning: "We write to alert you to serious election security breaches that have threatened the security and integrity of the 2024 elections." They detailed known vulnerabilities in election machinery and documented instances where Republican operatives obtained copies of election software. Dominion Voting itself had conceded that such acquisition would cause "irreparable damage" to the "election security interests of the country." The experts urged Harris to challenge narrow election wins in swing states and demand recounts and statistical verification of the results.
Kamala Harris did not respond. Instead, during her concession speech, she insisted, "we must accept the results of this election." This stance struck many as a dereliction of duty. Harris, who had called Trump a "fascist" on the campaign trail, built a career as a district attorney prosecuting hardened criminals, and frequently highlighted Trump's propensity to lie, seemed unwilling to consider that Trump could have influenced the outcome, especially in swing states with razor-thin margins.
Indeed, just days later, Trump appeared to admit to election interference. He congratulated Elon Musk on his knowledge of "vote counting computers" following his win in Pennsylvania. A few weeks later, while meeting with FIFA officials, Trump again intimated his involvement, stating, "They rigged the election and I won."
In this week's video, I argue that Trump possessed the means, motive, and opportunity to manipulate the 2024 election in his favor. The only remaining question is whether he ultimately acted on this plan.
