2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: So, Hillary had Russian intelligence, the leader of the FBI, Trump/GOP, the Media, Bernie or Busters [View all]planetc
(8,273 posts)popular and Electoral College? What if she did that, too? What if the Russian hackers are a distraction from the number of red-shifted elections we've had in this country since 2000? What if she just won, and we have no way to prove that? What if every day that passes since the election gives vote tamperers more time to cover their ... crimes? What if you can certainly bury or shift enough votes to change an election but it's nearly impossible to prove, or at least prove quickly? And what is a self-respecting democracy doing with this horrible mishmash of unauditable voting systems anyway?
The more my brain goes around on this, the more I'd like to rerun the election, except the same people would be counting the votes. Maybe we could get enough volunteer lawyers to staff those precincts in Michigan that disappeared 75,000 votes? If they stiffed the people in Flint, I'd really like them to get another shot at being heard.
