How is it both a reckoning and at the same time a justification of conspiracy theories?

Unsure how a technologist with any understanding of security questioning the integrity of electronic voting could be considered a conspiracy theory, instead of the default position on which the integrity of the most important election in the world is based.

The entire history of elections is defined by the mechanisms for corrupting them and the rituals used to preserve their integrity and proof of chain of custody. The burden of proof is on the election authorities and using electronic systems did everything we predicted it would, which is sow the discord that results in civil unrest.

When you take the integrity of that process away, the results are predictable.
