So you're saying that it's just your average npm project. Boring stuff.

Would you trust US election results if it was produced by some random amalgamation of javascript libraries downloaded straight from npm? I don't think the report mentioned if they even used HTTPS to download the code.

Surely the bar for the process that determines the future of the nation ought to be a lot higher than that. Surely this is not controversial.
