> Distrusting electronic voting machines only marks you out as a Republican conspiracy theorist when a Democrat is president
I'd modify this.
Distrusting electronic voting machines only marks you out as a conspiracy theorist (of any political leaning) when you only care about the issue if an election doesn't go your way.
People who actually care about the issue continue rallying for changes to election security even if their party won.
If you stop caring once things go your way, you don't actually care about election security, you're just using conspiracy theories to comfort yourself when you lost.
