Trump Campaign Is Spending The Money It Has To Try To Raise More
The Trump campaign spent just $18.4 million, albeit its highest monthly total so far. This spending, however, seemed to largely go toward raising money. His largest expense was $8.5 million to the digital marketing company Giles-Pascale for online advertising, which often consists of direct click to fundraising appeals.
Does anyone else find this quite a large amount to spend on setting up web pages?
Could Trump actually be buying computer programmers to hack election central tabulators to flip the election results?
Just wondering, many believe that is What Bush did to John Kerry in Ohio 2004.

(9,600 posts)I just thought that amount for one month was a bit large. I would estimate setting up web pages to collect money might only cost 2-3 million at most. I wonder what Trump is really paying for.
Plus the American voting boxes at the central tabulation locations are quite vulnerable to hacking experts. You do not need to hack the local election voting boxes, just the central tabulation machines. There is no paper trail anywhere to check against reported tabulations.
This is just a plain fact.

(146,262 posts)In Minnesota, for example, there are paper ballots, read by optical readers. We've had two statewide recounts where those paper ballots were counted by actual people. Both took a long time, and demonstrated that the original counts were fine.
There are states with no paper trails, but not all states lack paper ballots. Your statement that "There is no paper trail anywhere to check against reported tabulations" is simply not correct.
