the NSA has come out with information linking russia to voting hacks during the election...

now what?

not with the orange menace, but with russia? and the election?

if the election was found to be indeed hacked and that Hillary was the actual winner or several states did have hacked voting machines, what then? a new election? run off elections in those states that were shown to be hacked?

This is very uncharted territory.

what happens? Do they dissolve Trump's admin. and Hillary forms a new one? That seems only right if she is the real winner

but I think most reporting says they were able to hack an unnamed voting machine maker and got ahold of email list for spearphishing. No implication of vote tampering at the machines.

The constitution does not address this situation. The best we can hope for is that the Trump administration would be removed and Ryan would form a new administration.
