If they used that argument with other crimes then nothing would get solved.

With everything on computer now, I wonder just how possible it would be to hack in and register people.

extremely difficult because of off-site backups that get cross checked. the laundry list of shit that would need to be done to do a leave no trace hack is crazy.

Variables surrounding those crimes would change things over time. In this case, we're talking about cold, hard data. The data isn't going to suddenly change itself a year from now or even fifty years from now, so if nobody can find evidence of fraud now, they aren't going to find it later either.

Consider that you're essentially suggesting fabricating nonexistent people with nonexistent lives, given the documentation you need to register. It might be doable, but then the question becomes on what scale and for how long can you maintain the ruse. Short of perhaps the Illuminati, I don't think any organization would have the resources and manpower to pull it off, then keep everybody involved quiet about it.

Say a year. What would happen to the election result?

Is it literally that once inaugurated there is nothing that can be done?

Would the president stay in office for their entire term?
I can't say for certain, such a massive voter fraud operation has never occurred in the US. Generally when we get to that scale, it's a lot easier to attempt election fraud instead, and the consequences are guaranteed to be far less severe for a person already in a position of power. In Georgia's case, it was pretty clear that election fraud had changed the result in 2018, but the Republican responsible for that fraud was still given the position.

Never been known to occur ;-)

That is kinda insane

I can't imagine a scenario where they wouldn't leave office, if they were complicit it would probably be by impeachment issue. If the judiciary wasn't willing to remove them they would Resign or some kind of agreement would come out of the senate or congress to deal with the lack of process for such a incident.

2004 Kerry-Bush was a rigged election, Diebold machines. Mostly it just gets swept under the rug. Election fraud and pretending our elections are free & fair has bi-partisan support.

Like him or not, he doesn't miss. (Except for the holocaust comics. Maybe.)
He misses being funny

Basically, the whole point of the strip he currently does (and his previous one, Red Panels) is to serve as something of a primer for neo-Nazi views. They’re designed to bait readers in with meme-y strips that aren’t overtly offensive, and to then attempt to gradually ease the reader into harboring those views themselves as they go through the archives.

Attempt being the keyword, because a lot of his more extreme views require you to have already drunken the Kool-aid pretty damn deeply to not instinctively go “what the fuck?”, like the one where he tried claiming that the Holocaust was at least somewhat to blame on the Allies bombing food supply routes.

Alright, I'm diving back through the Stonetoss archives.
Here is one such example of him denying the holocaust happened there are many more.

I knew that there were some comics where he denies the holocaust. It was the part about starvation that threw me for a loop.
The alies were bombing parts of Germany and Poland to stop the supply route to the German Army. In his strip above he says the prisoners died from insufficient supply lines. That is him blaming the deaths on the Allies bombing the supply line
