George W. Bush has risked the ire of Donald Trump by saying theres pretty clear evidence that Russia interfered in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. In an unusually forceful series of comments, the former president took further aim at Vladimir Putinsaying the Russian president had a chip on his shoulder. Although Bush didnt mention Trump by name, his comments are likely to anger the current White House resident, who has repeatedly insisted Russia made no attempt to influence the 2016 election. Speaking Thursday at an event in Abu Dhabi, Bush said: Theres pretty clear evidence that the Russians meddled. Whether they affected the outcome is another question. The former president added: Its problematic that a foreign nation is involved in our election system. Our democracy is only as good as people trust the results.

So far, I am not trusting of the system.
No Paper Trial: When you have electronic voting machines that do not have any way to confirm your vote.
And since you brought it up, it is because of you and your family that the electronic paperless voting machines came about after the 2000 (S)election. Your baby brother helped create the mess that got you into the White House with the blessings of the USSC.
And the "News" media is supposed to be unbiased, ya know like Tim Russertt wearing your campaign pin under his lapel.
Yep, "Our democracy is only as good as people trust the results.
