Recently, on another blog, I described what has happened in the 2020 Presidential Election in the United States over the past several months.

Now (apparently, just the other day) a smoking gun (or rather: several smoking guns) has (have) been discovered.

I got wind of this via Adam Curry’s excellent analysis on the NoAgenda podcast (episode 1294 [ca. 2:40:00 – 3:05:00] ).

Rather than trying to summarize what seems to be a rather complicated affair, I strongly recommend you to listen to the relevant part of episode 1294 of the No Agenda podcast and thereby get the story directly from Adam’s mouth.
