Used to be a working system. I would just sign in with my email, password and plug in security key which has always worked for any dot gov site. This Planned FUBAR of Elon 'Break it Boys' Musk is deliberate to convince people 'government doesn't work' when it was working damned well until Jan 20

Am now mildly wondering if the hold mu-sak contains subliminal messages, but I am not moved to change my voter registration or buy a Tesla Dumpster, so maybe not?
