I'm sure I don't need to tell anyone here, but a wireless connection isn't proof of connection to the internet.

This drone idea has all kinds of problems aside from that, though:

• Battery life: Most polling locations are open for 8-12 hours. I'm not aware of any drones that can fly that long one a single charge. They're going to need a lot of drones and a lot of batteries.
• Data storage: For it to be useful evidence, proper collection, tracking, and chain-of-custody will be required. I have doubts they can handle that at a small scale.
• Commercial flight restrictions: If they're flying these near airports for commercial purposes (and non-profits count), they're going to need all the pilots to have an FAA drone pilot's license. Even if they don't, I believe they still have to notify the local tower if they're going to fly them within airport airspace, which can extend several miles out from the airport itself.

Lindell is once again getting himself involved in technical things about which he has no concept. Someone is grifting him even as he grifts others.

Personally, I would add big tinfoil hats to the voting machines to put his mind at ease. You know, first subtly suggest the idea to the guy. In such a way that he thinks he came up with it. Else it will not work. Then resist the implementation of it by all means. Keep the guy busy. In the end, yield.

But... why wifi? What about 4G, 5G. Wifi is so unimaginative, so limited. If I'd want to rig those machines, I would definitely not use a commercially widely available technology. Think the military has better hard to detect wireless tech.

Oh well... time for coffee.
