It seems that "in general" could be moved anywhere in the sentence.

Never mind that a host of actual election and cybersecurity experts have repeatedly investigated and found baseless the claims by election deniers that Dominion’s machines are corrupt tools that threw votes from Trump to Biden, or that voting machines in general are unsafe.

Could "in general" be placed anywhere in the sentence?

No, not in every position. Can you tell us where it can't go?

 

[GoldfishLord]

I think that it can't go before "voting machines".

I wonder if "voting machines in general" is a noun phrase?

 

[jutfrank]

I misunderstood. I thought you were asking about: People were not very sympathetic.

In that sentence, there are 6 positions. In the sentence about voting machines, there are 42 positions. Which sentence do you want to deal with?

Could "in general" be placed after "are"?
