No!

Do I think they changed votes, no. Do I think there is a possibility of them hacking into the voter rolls and changing enough information to keep people from voting? Yes.

Nope. I do think illegals voted,people voted in 2 states,and dead peoples left on the voter rolls voted.

Influenced? Maybe somewhat. Changed? No.
The point is that they did try, and they wanted the Donald, now the question is Why.


Off Topic: One thing many of you that discount the hacking attempts seem to have either overlooked or ignored is the fact that the Russians were also trying to hack into our power grid. Now That folks is a far more ominous sign of what they want to be able to do to this Nation and as such should be denounced by our Leaders. Unfortunately that same Leader that was elected seems to not even want to say that Russia did anything, again the question begs to be asked, Why.

I think we had illegals and dead people voting in some states but the Russians had nothing to do with it. The courts keep preventing our state from requiring voter I. D. so we can stop some of that from happening. That wouldn't really help when a precinct official fakes many absentee ballots though. In Eastern N. C. many absentee ballots were found to have different names but the same handwriting did them all.

Russia did not change any votes but they did work hard to influence the gullible American voting public.

I don't believe that votes were changed either. Did they hack into voter rolls and make it so people couldn't vote? That's possible but the effort needed to hack into so many individual databases to reduce suspicion seems remote.

What I believe the "hacking" really centers around is the the disinformation we saw during the election cycle. The fake news, the wikileaks timing, etc. just seemed too convenient.

But would there really be enough of them working in a concerted effort to actually affect the election? IMHO, no.

I personally believe that Russia would rather have Trump as President instead of Clinton. IMHO, they feel he is easily manipulated to make decisions that will favor them. Why? Simple - Money. Trump has been pursuing business opportunities in Russia since the late 80's and has never been able to get anywhere. It's the only major market without Trump businesses. It makes sense for him to be more lenient towards Russia if he felt that it would be easier for him to business there after he leaves office.
