Yes.
Yes, I do.
So do a lot of people a lot smarter than myself.
And that's on top of the very real, very well documented voter roll purging that affected mostly minority voters.
It's not even like this is the first time. Everyone who's able and interested should check out the HBO documentary Hacking Democracy about the 2004 election.
It was fascinating in 2008 watching a FOX anchor arguing with their in-house analysts when they called Ohio for Obama. He was arguing that the votes would start shifting to McCain just like they did for Bush in 2004. Sure enough, the same glitch happened, but the vote ratio didn't change.
He started getting frantic after that, sure that the votes would start going for McCain any minute. It was super obvious he knew about what actually happened in 2004.
Interestingly, "Anonymous" claimed to have blocked the hack saving the election; which is both nonsense and probably technically true at the same time.
Drag googled "Anonymous Obama election" and couldn't find anything
Interesting times ahead for the US when both of their major sided are losing (or lost) faith in elections.
The right got dozens of days in court to share whatever evidence they claimed to have that 2020 was stolen. They couldn't provide a single shred of evidence for voter fraud that wasn't in their favor. Now, with plenty of evidence, if the other side requests their day in court they are called crazy and conspiracy theorists and blue maga and blue anon and any other number of ad hominem attacks. What are they afraid of, if there was no hack let them prove it in court. But republicans don't play fair and they never have, so why are Dems playing so easily into their hands? Are they that desperate to distance themselves from what they've seen as crazy election deniers? That means all the ad hominem worked.

Verifying the vote isn’t denialism. The evidence is compelling and coherent. Too many whiners not enough debunkers!
Like said, interesting times coming up.
