I don't completely understand what he's saying... The votes were being transmitted through Starlink which was creating these bullet ballots before transmitting back down to the counters? Is there really evidence that Star Link was anywhere near the votes?

That’s the problem here. It’s all speculation. There is an anomaly in the amount of bullet ballots cast, per this gentleman. We don’t know if that’s the case for the whole country (conveniently doesn’t say). We don’t know if this has happened in previous elections (we just take his word for it as he glosses over it). He’s not a network IT person (more data analysis) so doesn’t truly understand the plausibility of hijacking actual ballots.

I’d need to see a lot more analysis from other sources before saying some guy on talk radio has a reason to question the integrity of ballots.

Plus, even if it went through Starlink's network you'd think the results would have been cryptographically signed like all https transactions are. How would they have managed to modify the results without the private key? I really don't want to stoop to the election denying level based on one guy's armchair speculation. Absolutely voting machines should have security audits from third parties, but to my knowledge that already happens, and the only thing making him doubt is that the results don't sound real to him (which is more of a sign that like me, he's probably living in a bubble)
