Scott Adams argues that the complex allegations of voter fraud can be simplified into one question: is there ever a non-hacked reason for a cumulative vote count to turn negative? Adams claims that testimony showing Trump's count decreasing while Biden's increased by the exact same amount is the "Kraken" that could nullify the election. He suggests that if this evidence is presented correctly, the election results would be void.

Gyan Chikian Report, Voter Data Accessibility

RT correspondent Gyan Chikian highlighted that many U.S. voter registration databases, such as those in Ohio and Colorado, are already publicly accessible online. The report questioned why Russia would bother hacking individual state databases if they had already allegedly breached the DNC, which contains comprehensive national voter data. This logical inconsistency is used to argue that the "Russian hacker" narrative is being exaggerated by U.S. media outlets.
