> [@Folacin](#): > > A quick Google shows there are about 116,000 polling stations in the US, so Mike is planning about one drone for each - so his won’t be crashing into each other. Coordinating 100,000 of anything is not a trivial task. Based on his history, he doesn’t have the chops to do a decent job. Assuming he gets even a significant fraction of that (100,000 drones will cost $lots and adding the WiFi sniffer will increase that), chances are many of them will end up duplicating their efforts by being at the same location. So I wouldn’t rule out crashes at all. ---

> [@Atamasama](#): > > But he’s not.

Lindell’s bank has cut off his line of credit because he was diverting money meant for his business into his conspiracy crusade.
