But the fact that you reference companies (plural) is the point I was making. There is not one company whose machines count the votes.

As for conspiracy theories, the proponent of such theories changes whenever the presidency changes parties. Same theories, different proponent. They are not more true when we tout them than they were in 2020 when Trump touted the exact same theories.
