Note: I don't usually post from sites I don't know, but I can't find this segment on Rachel Maddow's site (this is normal behavior for MSNBC). He has the video included and I can't go directly to the video.

Following up on his startling revelations today about how DOGE engineers accessed MLRB databases without authority, and that Russian IP addresses were used with recently created user IDs and passwords to access them, Daniel Berulis— speaking through his lawyer—followed up with a new bombshell that DOGE systems “were also connected to Starlink”.

Here is some more info from NPR: https://www.npr.org/2025/04/15/nx-s1-5355896/doge-nlrb-elon-musk-spacex-security

This brings up election machines connected to Starlink. Hate to dip into conspiracy, but needs to be looked at seriously.

I know everyone hems and haws about trump cheating because they don't want to be called a ~~conspirator~~ conspiracy theorist. But his calling everyone else cheaters, claiming voting machine manipulation, shouting there's election fraud, and his 100% projection should all tell everyone that he cheated. We know he placed his minions as election officials across every state and has had them change laws for him. And SO much gerrymandering and voter suppression, it's hard to put it all in one place. He definitely cheated, it's just a matter of how much. So yes, I agree, we have to look if he cheated with starlink, but also check everything else.

Why has there not been more noise about this? I’m honestly a bit confused it looks pretty obvious from the outside but everyone in the US just seems to accept that it was a legitimate election? Idk

In addition to what OP said, there's no hard proof yet. Puts us into a tough position.
