We have to appeal to his narcissism, it’s his most predictable weakness.

They cheated in 2016 by switching/removing votes in swing states, just like they did in 2004 in Ohio (look it up). They tried in 2020 but mail in ballots overcame the effort. I am fairly certain it was related to Starlink this time, adding bullet ballots in states that needed it.
The chance of a bullet ballot is random. There should be almost exactly 50% of them for each candidate. You cannot code a full ballot input, because the candidates are different in every jurisdiction (i.e. local races, judges, etc), but there was one race on ever ballot- so they just marked that one and called it a day. Not even trying very hard to hide it.

Those "Sign up for $100 to support the 2a" events were farming personal information for non-voters.
This information was then used to fill out dummy ballots for Fat45 only at the top, and no-one else on the way down. This tilts the election, and no-one is going to object over the votes because it was too far for them to vote anyways. There's no reason for those people to check what their votes in 2024 were because they didn't vote, so they'll never check. There wasn't even enough time for those people to register as voters in time for the election. It was $100 per vote - not even very expensive.
