the hackers let us down, the should've hacked the election
My prediction before the election was that some hackers would hack the election in a manner that would have made it obvious to everyone. I thought the hackers were going to throw the election into chaos by making the electronic machines register either no votes or 100 trillion votes. I was convinced this was gonna happen. The hackers let us down. They should've done this to prove how easy it is to do and to make sure the Republicans didn't do it for us. Unfortunately, the republicans did it instead of the hackers.

2. Very professional job
very convincing. But for the exit polls nobody would have noticed.

3. I am convinced that most Americans want "honest" elections"...

IF, hacking has been a part of this election, it would be most shameful. In the spirit of democracy, that anyone would promote the invalid results of the will of the people, regardless of how one would agree, or disagree, would certainly be a travesty of "democratic" justice. The ends will never justify the means. If you would care to promote the adolescent perspective of viewing the electoral process as being the possibly perceived "what's good for their side is good for ours", then you obviously do not care for the general interpretation of the Constitution, as our "founding fathers" would have wished for us.

TRUTH; not "counter hacking" is one of the goals of democracy. If we are not seeking truth, then we will surely be doomed as a free nation!

I do believe that this most recent election places many doubts upon our trust of the will of the American People. I can only hope that enough of all of us see through the smoke, without resorting to the stooping we have experienced during this election!

May "peace" be with you!

:-)
