of Democratic politicians asking us to fight for them to win elections when they give up so easily. Do you think if the opposite had happened to Rs would just move on? Nope. It's factual that over 1000 more votes were given to Donald Trump in some counties in WI which have now been taken away. Why was that so? Should we just believe the excuse given? Was this widespread? We also know that Russia hacked the DNC and others then strategically released information for the benefit of party/person who eventually won. We know that Russia hacked the voting database in some states. Why was it beneficial for them to acquire the names of voters? Was this a test run into the voting system? We need answers.
How can you ask people to vote (some standing in line for hours- I was pregnant and stood in line for hours to vote for Kerry), if the integrity of the voting process cannot be trusted? How can we consider ourselves a democracy if the voting process can be rigged and nullify the will of voters? I believe for this reason they will try to keep the truth from us but we need people to stand up

Where are the Attorney General and the FBI Director while all this is going on? Is it of no concern to them?

That it would only hurt the Democratic party and make them look stupid if they were jumping up and down like some people want them to do.

The Democratic Party does not want to get "too close" to this unofficial "recount". It is not something the government would officially sanction.
