The seizure of voting machines and the entanglement of the Venezuela conspiracy theory in election interference are part of a larger pattern of election interference in the US, dating back to the 1960s. The CIA's involvement in the 1964 US presidential election and the ongoing impact of voter suppression on marginalized communities are just a few examples of the systemic issues that underlie election interference. The current episode is a continuation of this pattern, highlighting the need for electoral reform and the protection of democratic processes.
