We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.
Just try imagining that it was Hillary who won in 2016 and a government agency trying to overthrow her reign of terror being exposed. It would be a Vast Rightwing Conspiracy, Part II. But then again, after her media minions exposed the plot those implicated would all die...suddenly.
I think "overthrow a duly-elected government" claims a bit more than was actually intended.
All they meant to do was overthrow part of it. It was meant to be more like a palace coup, where only the leader changes. I don't think they care about Congress or even the Supremes. Those are minor inconveniences to the agencies.

The USPS Just Filed A Patent For A Blockchain-Based Secure-Voting System
QUOTE:
It has recently been unearthed that he USPS filed for a patent on February 7, 2020 for a "Secure Voting System" that uses a blockchain access layer. Obviously, this could be one of the strongest signals of a welcome adaptation to blockchain by the U.S. government since blockchain was thrust on the map by Bitcoin.
"A voting system can use the security of blockchain and the mail to provide a reliable voting system," the patent application says. "A registered voter receives a computer readable code in the mail and confirms identity and confirms correct ballot information in an election. The system separates voter identification and votes to ensure vote anonymity, and stores votes on a distributed ledger in a blockchain."
As i keep saying, Mr. Trump needs to don his Hercules outfit and divert the Potomac River thru the FBI Building and any other executive-branch offices as he deems necessary.
