How do we know that Hillary is winning? Unverified voting machine counts?


Let's just get real here people.

When you have an audit, and the hand count is changed to match the machine count...

how can anyone say that the election has been counted fairly and we know Hillary is the winner?

Even the red state governments, because Republicans are such big fans of hers.

If that's your attitude, nothing anybody can say here will convince you otherwise

I've only ever been to one Hillary rally, back in 2008. Most of us have actual things to do with our time than stand around to listen to a speech. That seems to be Bernie's bailiwick.

The vote tabulations were fraudulent only in the states she carried. However, the process was both righteous and pure in the states Sanders won.

from voter rolls, closing down the majority of voting locations that existed in the last election) would be more than enough reason for massive numbers of people to fill the streets in protest. Here massive numbers of people just can't be bothered to give it a second thought.

And cheating always seems to be just fine if it favors one's own perceived interests... and even when it doesn't favor one's own interests. There's a long history of that attitude in this country, apparently. Back in the 19th Century, a European wrote about his travels in the United States and noted that, weirdly, when Americans got cheated they would first react with blustering anger but then quickly that anger would turn into admiration for the cleverness and audacity of the cheater.
