2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: What will it take for the Proofers to see what happened here? [View all]HassleCat
(6,409 posts)76. Here is the question.
        We suspect election fraud when the results in machine precincts deviate from results in paper ballot precincts. We have seen states where exit polls match results in paper ballot precincts, but vary considerably for machine precincts where there is no paper trail. If this happened in 2016, we should suspect election fraud. It could be done by someone hacking into the machines, and "someone" might be the Russians. Or not. He's anyone bothered to figure out of the gap between exit polls and results is wider in places where votes were counted electronically? Of so, there is reason to think the Russians might have jimmies the election. If not, then it's likely that nobody had a finger on the scales, Russians or otherwise.

        In the post-fact era I doubt Putin on camera laughing at what dumbasses we were would be enough.

        The intelligence agencies aren't disputing the hack of the US Elections commission.

        No intelligence agency has said the Russians were behind the Election Assistance Commission breach

        oddly, they still *do* them. Funny that they only disagree when it's the KGOPB

        Check out these two threads for plenty of evidence of threats and potential for hacking.

        I was pretty sure it would be stolen when I read that RUssia had hacked into voter registration

        You have to believe that the losing party in each state accepted the hacking

        Nothing. They aren't looking for proof. They are looking for a reality that is NOT what we stand for
