1. There are more of us than the deporlabes including in those 4 states.

He did not win any of those 4 states.

And if we are not very very suspicious it will happen again.

Unless people believe putin and his billionaire oligarch friends spent 30 years cultivating HUNDREDS if not THOUSANDS of on the ground KGB agents living and working in America, in some cases BORN here, then found rump and blackmailed him and then spent billions to get him elected and then...then

and then on election day PUTIN let it up to US, to YOU and ME to decide and he did NOT tamper with the voting???

Is THAT what people think?



For FUCK sake Putin is a murderous thug dictator, OF COURSE he has assets altering the votes.

2. I keep asking that question.

I think feds did not want us to know.

4. I agree, tampering w/ voting in some fashion occurred. The ...

response to it by repug legislators has been one of denial, or that it even happened, or come up w/ some congressional committee fake report ignoring many of the main suspects or not pursuing them enough via 'hostile' questioning as an attorney would do. Too much evidence has already been gathered by multiple US governmental agencies, and the response is by us, what response?

I know that some states, more aggressive than the feds, have already moved to implement procedures so this won't happen again (manual or paper ballots, and the like). More than likely if the Russians hackers (or agents of them, e.g. eastern European countries) they won't use the same thing/process(es) that they used in 2016. Network software and packet networks that the state pollsters use to transmit poll results are probably safe. It's the recording software either at the voter booth or the hardware and ass. software at the headquarters of the state pollsters use to accumulate statewide voting totals.

But, the feds, nothing...congress, nothing. The two main branches of government, controlled by none other than the repugs, nothing. Perhaps some of you remember back after the 2016 election, some repug controlled election officials were already destroying 2016 voting tallies/results/I'm not 100% sure what all it was.

So much for being able to have an all out, fair election, 1 to 1, repugs vs. dems. In most concentrations of dems, repugs have chopped up the districts to favor repugs statewide. The corruption is endless.

Overwhelming dem turnouts and massive conversions of former repug voters, repulsed by the corruption so far shown and done (hey, I know its only a few percentage points, but every little bit helps us). Right is mightier than corruption and will put it in its place, rooted out, convicted and put in jail.

Ah, sorry for ranting. Thanks for your post.

3. C'mon, they Can't investigate that !!!

Cause someone might manage to stop them meddling in the midterms - and the repugnicans just cannot have that! I mean really, I can't believe you even mentioned that ! ( Sarcasm)

5. That article is just more "it could have happened," but no evidence. We lost, some Dems voted for

trump or 3rd Party or against Clinton or for Sanders in protest, some stayed home in protest or because they thought Clinton had it, people who don't usually vote stayed home again, white people -- including women who should have detested trump -- voted like Wypipo, etc.

We lost it ourselves for not getting out the vote, Comey's junk changed some minds, Ruskie and trump lies changed some minds (of course you have to be stupid or susceptible to white wing lies for that to work), etc.

Elections since November prove we win when we get out the vote, even though people were saying the GOPers would throw those elections too.

Paper ballots might give us some comfort, but ballot boxes get stuffed or "lost," hanging chads occur, etc.
