From my understanding, if the Russians did hack the election, making it invalid, wouldn't the Speaker Of The House assume the presidency until a new election could be scheduled?

How would a new election take place?

Would there even be one before 2020?

If so, would it be to serve out remainder or for four full years?

We were brow beaten several times by the democrats, Obama included that the election COULD NOT BE HACKED.

I also recall several times of republicans worried about rigged voting machines but were called "insane" by the smug liberals.

And by the way, if it did happen, how did Trump lose the popular vote?

This is not that thread. He's asking a legitimate hypothetical. This is unprescedented territory. I don't think we have a procedure in place for this.

Nope it would/will be President Pence.

Since he was elected on the same ticket, I couldn't see how that would be valid.

Why? He would only be vice president as a result of the fraudulent election. It seems most likely that Ryan would be president. Either that, or the rightful winner of the election.

Thanks.

This thread runs on the hypothetical that the POTUS race was hacked and how the process would handle it.

If the machines were hacked, more than likely we wouldn't know exactly how the count was afffected (based on numbers being changed and not an algorithm where every x vote is changed.

I'd think the hack would be an end number change and not a programming change.

I have not seen any evidence to show that actual ballot results were altered, but it think it's clear that this election is more tainted than we knew. Even if the Russians did not succeed in changing a single vote, it makes collusion between Trump's campaign and the Russians far more likely. Collusion alone would not invalidate the results, but actual vote tampering SHOULD.

Wouldn't you have to prove Trump/Pence was an active part of the conspiracy?
