This is the most destructive influence on our democracy and the Big Con will not Do anything about it...that is my litmus test or canary in the coal mine....due to the fact that the Con is well aware of what Russia hackers did...because he asked them to do it....on national tv....within hours of this request dnc and Hillary were hacked...these actions by our illegitimate president will not be ignored by Mueller....

5. Have you bothered to read any of the actual evidence?

The Wisconsin and Michigan recounts provide actual evidence of actual votes and they weren't changed. Insipid evidence free conspiracy theories should be posted in the creative speculation group.

In brief, we find no evidence that the voting technology favored one candidate more than the other.

Nor could we find any statistical differences correlated with accessibility technologies or with different voting technology vendors.

The tests uncovered nothing suspicious. That supports a conclusion that voting machines themselves were not hacked.

6. Michigan was won by voter suppression, not by vote rigging.

We have highly recountable paper ballots.


I agree with you.

7. Did you notice that their comparison was with the Jill Stein recount totals? You may find Jill Stein

to be a gold standard. I certainly don't.

And I suppose this is all just insipid:

Serious problems have been documented in Detroit that potentially could have changed the outcome in the state. Votes in Detroit were not recounted and are not part of our data.


So their conclusion that who the vote was for didn't affect how it was treated is absolutely true, except in Detroit, where it very well may have. And who knows what other localities that may be true for.

But don't let me slow your snark.

At the 2017 Def Con computer security conference, perhaps the biggest gathering of hackers in the world, organizers challenged attendees to hack into a variety of 30 different voting machines used by election officials around the country.

Within 24 hours they hacked every one.

the words to describe what I suspect the korpromat was... that is it, pootie knows that idiot isn't really the rightfully elected president, why he's so defensive about it and has to have a parade. More than anything, the whole thing will blow up, one way or another, because that's probably the truth. I bet it will be revealed by the poot himself after he tires of watching us squirm and we have finally gathered enough evidence to oust the whole, extended clan of traitors.

Just thinking aloud...

Everyone always points to the paper ballots being unhackable. The paper ballots aren't the ones I worry about. Just a few votes in each precinct would do it, but I think it was more than that in the precincts with no paper trail.

We will find out after he is out of office.

8. Two questions. Was it possible? Would the Russians have done it if they could?

I think the answer to both questions is yes,which makes an investigation warranted.
