The stupid just get stupider. Lindell is flaunting his stupid in StupidWorld.
Via Will Sommer:
MyPillow's Mike #Lindell has been hyping his secret plan to save elections for a week. He just released it — and it's a little drone he plans to fly over polling sites.
Kelly Dereuck:
Live from the Mike Lindell event on day 2: so far the plan to secure our elections is to fly a wifi detection device on drones over polling places to see if voting machines are connected to the internet.
2/ To address all of your replies to Lindell’s stupid idea, via a friend:

“I've worked at the polls for years. Places that use electronic POLL BOOKS (used to sign in voters) need to be connected to the internet for updates and are disconnected when the polls open. These are NOT connected to WiFi, but connect directly via VPN like your cell phone. The voting machines themselves aren't connected to the internet at all.”
@GottaLaff In Colorado, most voting is by a ballot mailed to the voter and returned either by mail or to a drop box. But there are also voting centers where people can vote in person, and it is possible to register and vote at those centers up through early voting and on the day of the election. Colorado is not the only state that does this. https://www.ncsl.org/elections-and-campaigns/same-day-voter-registration "Colorado developed its own e-poll book system that is networked to communicate with the statewide voter registration database in real time. All jurisdictions have access to the system to check that a new registrant has not registered or voted in a different county in the same election."
