Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich welcomed President-elect Donald Trump’s electoral victory Monday, saying that “the time has come” to extend full Israeli sovereignty over the occupied West Bank.

He made the comment a day after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a recorded statement that he has spoken three times with Trump since the election and that they “see eye to eye on the Iranian threat.

now can you tell me why electronic voting machines in swing states need to be connected to Starlink?

Are they though?

Yes because I said so. Now gear up we have a capitol to storm.

I read an article at some point in the last few days that said some were, for what it's worth. I'll try to look for it again.

I'd be interested in seeing that, yeah

This just got posted on not-Lemmy, it's also not the original article I read but mentions many of the same things: https://freespeechforpeople.org/computer-scientists-breaches-of-voting-system-software-warrant-recounts-to-ensure-election-verification/

This isn't the article I read but was the first thing that came up when I Googled: https://www.reuters.com/world/us/wrong-claims-by-musk-us-election-got-2-billion-views-x-2024-report-says-2024-11-04/

If you search "cyber security expert 2024 election hacking" you'll get links to some social media posts where experts are discussing what they think happened.

I know for a fact I read that some small counties had voting machines that we know can be hacked hooked up to Starlink, and it was hypothesized that if they did get hacked again an "if, then" code was used to fly under the radar and steal votes in a few key areas in swing states. I'll continue looking when I get a chance.

This one mentions starlink but also calls it a leftist conspiracy theory, which I disagree with: https://www.newsweek.com/starlink-musk-trump-election-conspiracy-theory-spreads-online-1983444
