The right has complained about who gets to vote for as long as I can remember.

The left has been complaining about the security of the voting apparatus and the numbers of machines available at election time for as long as I can remember.

No matter who meddles, votes, or counts the votes, I guarantee that 2 years from now we will still be using voting systems that can easily be tampered with, that there will be controversy over what machine types are used where and who did or didn't set them up.

Is this really what we want for our democracy? A slipshod voting system?

So, you believe the actual voting machines were compromised?

Democrats say voting system is flawed, Russian somehow hacked it and that is why Hillary Lost.

Democrats are universally against all Voter ID laws.


This says it all.

The title and the poll questions seem to be for different topics.

I thought Obama said that it was no way anyone could meddle with the election.

With all the talk of Russians hacking the election, perhaps you were unaware that no one is claiming any of the actual election apparatuses were hacked. When you hear about the election being "hacked", what that really means is some less than flattering info was released about the DNC and Hillary's campaign staff.

The actual voting and vote counting was not hacked in any way.
