Electronic voting security is a topic of concern, and people have been talking about it for a while and should continue to talk about it. Personally, I've been calling out people who think digital security concerns are overblown since 2000, and every computer professional I know thinks that at a minimum every voting machine needs to produce a readable paper receipt, and a significant portion I know think paper+pencil ballots should be the way things are done.
But ... unless there's places in the recent election where people who were concerned about it didn't have the opportunity for a manual recount and where there's enough combined votes to have changed the outcome and where statistical sampling looks fishy... electronic count tampering is irrelevant.
And as far as I know, all the manual recounts done have verified a Biden victory.
So, sure. Continue to talk about methods. At some point, there doesn't need to be more dialogue around the outcome of the last election. Especially from the actors -- fringe and media outlet alike -- who aren't actually pointing to any of the concrete concerns, who can't actually bring up a good reason, but are clearly stretching out the game of "just asking questions" or "just making dialogue" to give the illusion that there's still any kind of reasonable countercase in play.
