... of its self and so is a 3.5% increase over 2012 voter rolls on the avg for the rural counties.

As if the rural county voter rolls grew in 4 years were they population has had a downtrend ...

12/19 and 1/21.

If our leaders wont we have to take this to the streets

will make all elections favor Republicans and wipe out the Dem Party except for a few seats to make it appear 'fair'.

To accept this past election as legit is to surrender power to Republicans for the foreseeable future.

Call DOJ, your Representatives, White House, rally. There's a FB group called Million Snowflakes (needs a hyphen) that is posting actions every day.

Come on aboard!

but people are too comfortable and media is already normalizing the bullshit election results

irregularities for me to even consider accepting the touted results.

Not going down without a fight. I'm calling, signing petitions, joining rallies, keepingn up the pressure on FB.

It's 5 am on the west coast. You know what time I can start calling?

We would have been following events as they happened and would have been raising hell if there were irregularities. Instead, we were totally crippled. It sure seems like it was a concerted effort to throw the election to the idiot. Are there any Democrats who are powerful enough to get anywhere with this who aren't warming up to sing kumbayah?

and I want to see some fight from the Dems on this election irregularity isseu.

I thought the same thing when I went to login on Election night and saw that DU was down. I chalked it up as being overly paranoid (especially after living in Tallahassee when 2000 went down), now I'm fairly confident that's the case...

I wonder if other sites were hit.

tRump troll. It was sophisticated and targeted, too much so to be some avg "troll"

And included my Repug Senator. Only could leave message.

Thread, pinned at top of this forum and GD, with the Contact info for all the places to call, who we are calling and a basic script on what to say.

We are lazy, as you can tell by the voter non-turn-out, and while we say we will call not many do because its too much trouble to find the info and when we do we panic when they answer cause we don't know how to make complete sentence that make sense because we are shocked someone even answered the phone.

Just saying.

But I agree 100% this election was stolen.

orange man himself back in May or June, openly asked the Russians to hack our emails, that is a serious violation of election laws. Not a damn thing happened.

Oh wait yes about a month later the FBI felt the need to talk about Clinton's emails, "there bad real bad but we aren't gonna do nothing, but they are real bad".

Foreign Government confirmed interfering in our Elections FBI response, *crickets* or rather, "move along nothing to see here."

And then 11 days before the election FBI, "looking at Clinton's emails, bad real bad."

Meanwhile the Russians are hacking away, helping trolls spread fake news, got private email server to talk to russians that are not apart of orange man's campaign team.

Then FBI again a few days before the election, "oops our bad nothing in those emails, but she is still bad."

Election night, the biggest coup in modern history and there is not a damn thing we can do about it.

This is nuts!

I was thinking maybe we should contact Skinner or the mods in this forum, the GD and maybe the home page, to have a pinned thread with all the info on contacting officials and what to say.

I know other places are doing this mainly face book pages. But the more places more people can find all the info readily available the more likely they will call.

I wasn't saying you should do this. It was just an idea, suggestion for this website to do it.

That's all I meant.

Thanks for the info and hope you don't hate me like pretty much everyone I come in contact these days.

"Top Democrat Calls For Investigation Into Russia's Role In US Election"
http://www.cnn.com/2016/11/17/politics/house-oversight-democrat-investigate-russia/

bhttp://www.cbsnews.com/news/donald-trump-computer-server-russia-alfa-bank/

In an election season where cybersecurity has been a major issue — from Hillary Clinton’s email server to the hacks, believed to be tied to Russia, that compromised her campaign chairman and the Democratic National Committee — a group of computer scientists stumbled upon evidence possibly connecting a Donald Trump mail server to a separate server belonging to Russia’s Alfa Bank. The discovery, reported by Slate, came just as the New York Times reported that the FBI found no direct link between the Trump Organization and the Russian government.

The NSA is in charge of signal intelligence investigation -- not the FBI.

You can bet that the NSA captured all the packets on those communications, not just the header info.

The heads of the Pentagon and the nation’s intelligence community have recommended to President Obama that the director of the National Security Agency, Adm. Michael S. Rogers, be removed.

The recommendation, delivered to the White House last month, was made by Defense Secretary Ashton B. Carter and Director of National Intelligence James R. Clapper Jr., according to several U.S. officials familiar with the matter.

Action has been delayed, some administration officials said, because relieving Rogers of his duties is tied to another controversial recommendation: to create separate chains of command at the NSA and the military’s cyberwarfare unit, a recommendation by Clapper and Carter that has been stalled because of other issues.

The news comes as Rogers is being considered by President-Elect Donald Trump to be his nominee for DNI, replacing Clapper as the official who oversees all 17 U.S. intelligence agencies. In a move apparently unprecedented for a military officer, Rogers, without notifying superiors, traveled to New York to meet with Trump on Thursday at Trump Tower. That caused consternation at senior levels of the administration, according to the officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal personnel matters.

since he controls "capitalism" there

And just left it to chance - with Hillary holding the lead, by all accounts??

that the election was rigged. Maybe it's time to believe him and start investigating it. He told us this, after all.

She should not be held to that. Obviously. This is about the American people democratically electing their president. Period

Cancel the election and give it to him. Hmmmmmmmmmm......

I heard that one too which caused me to imagine a scenario much like what current reality looks like.

White House will redirect you to 202 456-1111 to leave a comment.

Both it and DOJ comment line are busy 1st thing - 9 am EST. Left a voicemail on switchboard.

Online or email might also be good.

Phone number to reach senators works great

It's easier to send President Obama an e-mail

http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact

If President Obama received thousands of e-mails all asking him to do whatever he can to get an audit done in those states where Trump won by
very narrow margins...who knows, it might just help make it happen?
http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact

we must fight... call, write, protest, anything... what is happening is not normal, is not right, cannot stand

I'm sure I'm losing FB friends but good riddance!

and DUers were adamant that he could not pull it off.

At least the 4 States?

I've lost faith. Really, why bother voting?

Never stop voting. Obama won twice because it wasn't close enough to steal. We just need those overwhelming numbers, and changing demographics are on our side.

Trump "won" because, thanks to Comey, this election WAS close enough to steal.

They say it's impossible.

I'm the one with the degree in computer science, not them, and I say that it's very possible. Especially for a technologically advanced space-faring nation like Russia.

It doesn't help when so many of our own fight us on this.

I don't understand why people roll over so easily. But, must be the genesis of the Edmund Burke quote:

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

He saw it. We see it. Frustrating and costly.

I'm the idealist in the family. It's really going to break their hearts to see me give up.

Whereas they should be frightened of the consequences.

I'm just an engineer but I have been a skeptic since 2004.

States should be given through at least end of Jan. to certify b/c many of these issues aren't discovered until long after after an election, as we see here. Move the swearing-in to mid-Feb., what's the difference? Just a few weeks, and it will be warmer

I think Michigan is the 28th of November, but not sure. Don't know about the others.

And you can't just change the date of the inauguration, much as you might like to - it's in the Constitution.

I thought I read that a couple rust belt "firewall" states had an almost statistically impossible pattern; wherever paper ballots only were used Hillary won by a comfortable margin, when paper and electronic ballots were used Trump consistently won by 1%, and in electronic machine only districts Trump had a 5-10% lead. The pattern was too symmetrical to be coincidence.

"Still Time For an Election Audit"
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10028290706#top

We all should contact as many progressive news websites as we can, suggesting that an election audit is necessary because of all the "irregularities" (including how far off the exit polls were), which combined to give Donald Trump very narrow wins in key states such as Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, North Carolina, and Florida.

Be sure to include links to articles such as the following:

Here is a list of top Democratic news sites to contact:

to throw 7.2 million minorities off the voting registries in 30 states.

Bernie Sanders should be enlisted to lead the rallying cry for action on this as well as the demand for audits.

You should send a copy of this information to ever elector, on the longshot chance that some could be persuaded to change their votes. I dislike the term "faithless electors." They would be patriots if they saved America from a coup and elected the person who got the most popular votes in a landslide despite rigging and cheating everywhere.

Also don't forget about the state, Alabama or Georgia, that enacted photo ID laws and then shut down DMVs in black neighborhoods to make sure they couldn't get IDs.

Can you please fix or was that hacked too?

We will have to have a second Civil Rights Movement. Time to organize some street theater and peaceful protest. The politicians are all bought and sold. Only by winning the hearts and minds of the people can we overcome this latest hurdle.

and some history:

http://www.billjamesonline.com/fixing_a_presidential_election/

A Clinton margin of 2.5 million votes, if the remaining CA count produces that many, would mean
Clinton's popular vote margin will surpass Trump's total votes in D.C. plus eleven small states.
