As I recently said to a friend: "I fucking hate being right."
And he said "I fucking hate you being right."
(he was never in disagreement, he just still had a sliver of hope)

The exit poll isn't the canonical vote count. The ballots are. Exit polls are subject to sampling bias or other statistical anomalies. Ballots are not, because there is no sampling. The complete set of ballots is the vote.
A ballot count might not match up with the ballots themselves, but an exit poll would be at most weak evidence of that, especially when the ballots still exist in physical form to be recounted, in plain view of both major parties.
The "tech" is literal pieces of paper in 44 states, and most parts of 5 more. If you're complaining about DRE machines, then you should cheer on the fact that they're being phased out and that they're only in wide use in 1 out of 50 states.
And if you're complaining about ballot stuffing then you're no longer complaining about tech at all, and are talking about the physical integrity of ballot boxes. Go ahead and do the audits there, but show your work instead of complaining about electronic voting.
Show my work ? You know it’s been done many times already? My point was, that anyone can verify it.
Anyway, there are so many issues, untruths, misunderstandings and downright denial here there is nothing to really reply about. I’m not saying you are deliberately acting in bad faith, but shows how much bs is circulating around and how invested people are to not follow common sense. Or understand some basic truths, just science, math and tech truths.
