These exit polling data are not accurate. Many people, like me, believe it is none of their business. So in many cases people give them the opposite name of who they voted.

Hillary for President 2016

I take note the report does not say the Russians were successful.

i.e. Hillary lost the election fair & square.

Operation Catapult....

Manufacture fake intelligence, to discover agents in intelligence communities, that are leaking intel.

Ya, that is why the DNC shut down the Jill Stein recounts..... It was not the Republicans.


Mueller isn't only looking at Russian/Trump connections. He is looking at Russian/Hillary connections too.
These special investigations go way out of the original scope that brought it.

Recounts won't change if voting data files were manipulated.

Exactly.

Many states use voting machines that don't allow a recount.

Why we don't all use paper ballots is a mystery to me. Affordable. Easy. The counting machines could be hacked, but you could recount the paper ballots if that question came up.

The only good thing about this whole affair is that it has outed the lunatic left and put their despicable behavior in the spotlight driving a wedge between them and reasonable thinking people who thought they were Democrats.
It may be a crime to be president when you are either to naïve to think you are the most brilliant man that EVER walked the face of the earth. Too vain to resign for the survival of your country and the world.
The man needs to go. No matter what his beloved followers believe. We are all in this together. Let him go and let's get on with life.

Every day, with his tweets, and big mouth he makes life worrisome and dangerous. He has to know there are other people to think about. Not just his irrational ego.

In other words, resign Mr. Trump, for the good of your country.

This.

Sorry, but this whole story is just a "nothing burger". There's still no indication that this influenced the election...the Intercept article even states that clearly.

This also proves nothing, though. Like Putin said in the interview, you can have random hackers in Russia, Spain, even the US. Plus, Vault 7 already revealed that the CIA have been hacking countries for a while, and then use another country to place the blame on them to start something.

Maybe it's the tip of something big, but, my hunch is, if the MSM isn't going crazy with this story right now, then, it seems like the whole "Rachel Maddow Trump Tax Return" special all over again.

So you want Pence instead? Trump is not going to resign.
There is truth behind some of his tweets. I find it hilarious that people are all upset over petty things.
