close elections have always been the easiest to rig. When the gap is too wide prior to voting, as it was with Kamala, it's questionable from day 1. I don't think any of the elections Republicans have stolen have been all that close. They know where they need votes. The ability to hack into elections offices as they did that summer had to be a big assist in many ways.
