It's interesting that voter fraud used to be a "left-wing conspiracy theory", given that Cheney had ties to Diebold (e.g. see https://www.peoplesworld.org/article/who-is-counting-your-vote-diebold-and-bush-vs-the-public-interest/ https://www.peoplesworld.org/article/who-is-counting-your-vo...). And prior to this election cycle there was more concern from the Democrats around potential Russian interference with voting machines. Perhaps now we'll have bipartisan support for what should be apolitical and uncontroversial election security initiatives that researchers have been advocating for years, e.g. https://www.lightbluetouchpaper.org/2020/11/26/three-paper-thursday-veni-vidi-vote-y-election-security/ https://www.lightbluetouchpaper.org/2020/11/26/three-paper-t....
