And here’s the thing. The USB drive is encrypted, the paper ballots are locked away and provide a separate record of the votes to compare against. If an election official delivered a USB drive that didn’t match what the actual ballots show(has never happened) they would go to prison. No sane person would try that.

Reply to comment by CutDiscombobulated95 in TIL that the narrative that Coca-Cola designed the modern Santa Claus as part of an advertising campaign is not true, because Coca-Cola did start using Santa in advertising in 1933. But Santa had been portrayed almost exclusively in red from the early 19th century by giuliomagnifico

Nope. See images from 1902: https://erinsweeneydesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/1012548_1100449943328358_2349550661352163719_n.jpg

That’s an excellent article. While it’s probably correct to say that an ad campaign popularized his look, it’s clear from this article that his look as we know it today went back as far as 1902.

That Boys Life from 1913 would have had a huge distribution too. It’s not as if it was some obscure depiction.
