The CIA and FBI haven't released any info yet, so we don't know the full extent of it. There was enough interference in our election though that Sen. McCain is calling it an act of war and calling for a full investigation. McCain is my Senator, so I'm going to send him a letter thanking him.
When DU was hacked on Election Day a couple hours before the 1st election results with that creepy video of Trump with a gun, I had a feeling in my gut that the election was going to be stolen.

Nothing. They aren't looking for proof. They are looking for a reality that is NOT what we stand for
