Was Rep. Thomas Massie the latest target of electronic vote-counting machine hacking? Given the popular congressman's shocking loss this week to an unknown whose main assets were the record spending of the Israel lobby AIPAC's money, and Trump's intense personal hatred of Massie, Massie's supporters have every reason to want verification of the Hart Intercivic machine vote-count which handed Ed Gallrein the victory.
This can be done through scrutiny of the digital ballot images automatically produced by these machines.
Massie was polling comfortably ahead of Gallrein for a year, until early this May, when sudden mysterious jumps in the polls seemed aimed at preparing the public for what was coming.
It is more than a little strange that Gallrein's rallies were low key affairs and his victory party drew under 100 people, while Massie's drew thousands even in defeat.
Also enough to raise the eyebrows of any casual election watcher is the 50,000 new GOP primary voters out of seemingly nowhere, for double the number of total primary voters in the last contested district GOP primary in 2024.
Trump's endorsement in previous GOP primaries has as often as not turned into liabilities rather than boosts, so this alone does not easily explain Gallrein's apparent win.
Election departments across the country have been fighting tooth and nail to prevent citizens from viewing the ballot images in elections that they simply want verified. Why?
Few races come to mind in which more intense motivation to cheat can be seen. Trump rallied his forces by not only disagreeing with Massie's politics, but calling him a "horrible human being." It was a level of public personal animus that, of modern presidents, Trump has shown a great appetite for. For Trump politics is not about agreeing or disagreeing. It is about visceral, twisted hatred of anyone, because they disagree.
Massie's opposition to continuing military aid to Israel, his push for release of the Epstein files, and most recently his opposition to the US-Israeli attack on Iran would be enough to get any congressman on the wrong side of extremely powerful forces.
The Hart Intercivic is the vote-tabulating machine used across Massie's Kentucky's 4th Congressional District.
Massie has conceded, as is his right. But it is also the right of his supporters, as one famous American politician once said, to "trust, but verify."
