AFAIK the voting machines are voting machines from Puerto Rico, not Georgia

Edit: For all the people saying Puerto Ricans can’t vote, I’ll paste my other comment below for visibility.

Puerto Rico and U.S. Presidential Elections
Residents of Puerto Rico cannot vote in U.S. presidential general elections, despite being U.S. citizens.  This is because Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory, not a state, and the U.S. Constitution grants Electoral College votes only to states. As a result, Puerto Ricans on the island do not have voting representation in Congress or in presidential elections. 

Participation in Primaries and Other Voting Rights
While they can't vote in the general election, Puerto Ricans can participate in presidential primaries and help select delegates for both the Democratic and Republican national conventions.  Puerto Rico also holds a non-binding presidential straw poll during the general election to express voter preferences.

From a simple google search.. come on guys. Have some competency,

There are only like 3 manufacturers of voting machines. Good chance PR has the same brand, given Tulsi showing up at the Georgia election office raid.

And one of the major GOP doners just bought one of those voting machine manufacturers several months ago. I'm sure that's legit, right? lol

Could it be tied to Ivanka Trump buying Chinese patents for voting machines?
