2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumSo its looking like the recounts are rigged...
Drump is actually gaining votes?!? That sounds totally believable! I think our only hope is to get the Russian hacking information to the electoral college voters within the next week. Obama needs to declare an executive action to make sure every electoral college voter receives all classified information on Russian hacking.

(885 posts)There's a reason they wanted to avoid hand counting during the recounts.

(16,254 posts)I think it is past time to return to the old ballpoint pen and sheets of paper. ..purple thumbs wouldn't hurt. It is obvious the machines have caused nothing but heartache and headache...certainly haven't saved us any money.

(30,481 posts)The recount was never a real hope. It was nothing more than GP deception at the hands of the mentally bankrupt Stein.

(22,236 posts)Yeah, I guess that's why millions of people donated to it because they thought it was such a waste of time.

(30,481 posts)Those willing to read what Stein put out in the first 48 hours of her money grab were able to see what she was doing. her statements on how the money will be used changes daily.
Here is a little clue. How much was raised for the recount? Fact is you have no idea. Stein is a snake oil salesman.

(54,770 posts)incorrect. I get we didn't like the results and couldn't believe white wingers are that stupid, but that is not a reason to demand a recount.
So far, I don't see where the "hacking" had any direct impact on voting, certainly nothing that would justify another election other than we are dissatisfied with the result. If there is proof of that, we have something. If it is no more than releasing some DNC emails, we need to learn how to protect emails, not put condensing info in emails, and maybe avoid improper action period.
Sure, I'd love for Clinton to sneak in, but I'm not sure it would bode well for the future of elections in this country.

If we were 'done in' by the contents of emails, we were dumb.

(7,352 posts)Plus, it's not hard to hack an email account when the owner (Podesta) gives you the damned password.

(15,703 posts)In other words they allowed to recount what they were allowed to recount. Surprise, no changes!

(7,352 posts)absentee/early and valid provisional ballots.

(8,303 posts)When they are talking about hacking, they are talking mostly about the DNC email hack.
I don't know how anyone could possibly believe that any foreign power could hack machines which are not connected to the internet and would have to be physically approached, one by one.
If you actually know anything that would indicate that the vote is inaccurate, mention it here.

(8,303 posts)Do you - does ANYONE - seriously believe that the Russians had a team of people wandering into polling places, one by one to futz the machines as those responsible went off to take a bathroom break?
Really???
