Russians Could Penetrate Our Voting System And Change Votes. Look How Far They Got Already.

Can we really be sure that the Russians did NOT change votes. The story says they did not effect the totals, but based on what we have witnessed you have to wonder about it.

Was that vote changing was not assessed.
It was kind of like they got home and saw a UHaul backed up to the house but did not go in to see if anything was taken.

Didn't that orchestrated attack on our paper ballots seem fishy? Remember the operatic over-acting about the hanging chads? Remember the Republicon congressional aides in their Brooks Brothers suits, converging on various facilities in Florida? I wonder just how far back this international conspiracy started!

that votes were changed or tallies were altered doesn't mean they haven't. Rosenstein said as much. He said that question was not addressed in the indictment. I expect we will learn the details when Mueller names Americans. It took Americans to change votes. Those indictments are coming.

The final national polls were off by a point.

Wisconsin recounted. Counties that hand recounted showed no significant difference from machine recounted counties.

The Washington Post reviewed the Pennsylvania recount that was all hand recounted and it also showed no difference.

Databases and change a number in an address or a social security number. That could disqualify thousands of democrats from voting in key states and districts. I think Putin wants sanctions relief. That cannot happen after yesterday’s debacle. I think his fallback plan is to throw the midterms to the Republicans which will serve as the match that lights the tinder. Then, as our country descends into a political crisis, Putin moves on the Baltic States while we are distracted with serious infighting in this country.
