No angst Pootsa. I would say I am upset that Stein may squander the voters money and I don't wish that on anybody. If she uses the money for what is intended, (to do a recount) then that part is fine. If the powers-that-be say a recount is warranted, then so be it. I honestly don't think much is going to come of this though.

Recounts are part of the system. No need for anyone to get angry about it.

I thought that since we KNOW the Russians were hacking American systems (the Navy was just hacked this week, but who knows who that was done by), it's not like this would come out of left field. It would fit what other things had been happening.

Also, the largest Democratic forum online was hacked on election day to crash totally. They had a message on their site that informed the public of it; the msg said the hacking was by someone who knew what they were doing, because what had been done would require them to work for days trying to get it back online. It was a professional forum...not some little site.

Another piece of evidence confirming electronic hacking to affect the election results.

Only a few counties in each state that does electronic voting would have to be hacked to skew the results.



Explain how they hacked the paper ballots, snowflake.

I guess voter fraud is only a thing when the Democrats lose.

Thanks for helping me make my point.
umm that made absolutely no sense.

I had no idea that you were a self-appointed representative of the people who freely donated their own money.

Do you extend this profound zeal and concern into other areas of giving, or is this a unique circumstance?

Pennsylvania used paper ballots?

The paradox is that in our current electoral system, without routine audits, seeking proof requires calling for a recount, which in itself can undermine confidence in the vote.

I think the poster was referencing Michigan.

Michigan uses 100% paper ballots, but some on the Alt-Left were initially claiming that it was hacked by Russians.

Pennsylvania uses a mix of paper and computer ballots.


And yep, there is no discrepancy between the results in the paper vs computer ballots within Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. The Alt-Left knuckleheads quickly bought it as they didn't realize that inner city Philly with paper ballots has different voter demographics than rural PA with electronic ballots.
