I think I posted here about Igor Panarin several years ago and often wonder whether Putin, Xi and others may have thrown in some seed money and effort at the US civil war concept to get it off the ground. If so, you don't need a hot war to do a lot of damage to our society "Russian political scientist " best known for predicting in 1998 that the United States would disintegrate within the next few years.[ citation needed]" en.wikipedia.org

Let me just say that the voting machines are easily capable. This is not a complicated software problem. And when you have millions of votes and the only way to catch the problem is by hand-counting the votes, it is pretty low risk. Much easier to say, "Yeah, a glitch here and there, nothing significant." The entire notion of storing votes in REAL number values vs. Integers is just a glaring red light. No one would have done that when these systems were developed. And the idea that in counting votes if you're off by one or two at the end of a batch it is "within tolerance" is just insane. I was a CPA for a while and in my office we did not let a bank account get out the door without to-the-penny reconciliation. The reason for that is you don't know what makes up $0.01. It might be a penny, it might be a thousand one way and $999.99 the other, and that sometimes matters. Finally, you don't know who caused it. Sadly, I think Trump didn't lose the election , but he is beaten at this point.
