They probably know what was going on but will not tell the voting public. #1would be changing votes through hacking, or perhaps discarded votes on local levels. I believe the Republicans will go to any length to stay in the majority in this country. Even if it means going to one of our adversary countries like Russia to do so.

15. And purging voter registrations

Something republicans have been doing for a long time. We know they did it in Florida in 2000 and it seems they've only gotten worse over the years.

With republicans, they don't see anything wrong with these tactics, as the only objective is to win, how you win isn't important. Whatever means necessary.

I suspect he has been told this fact by powerful people who know what happened.

True, without Ruskies, Comey, Democrats mad because their candidate wasn’t nominated, Dems complacent, suppression, lying and cheating GOPers, etc., he probably wouldn’t have been elected. But he was and is in office.

GOTV in 2020, even if he doesn’t run.

They only have to focus on a few states. What was the number of vote difference? was it 86,000? Wasn't that the lowest in history? But nonetheless, the EC is a corrupt institution, the electoral system supporting the EC makes it outdated.

Get rid of the Electoral College and they won't be able to cheat, at least not as easy.

Carter can't come out and say it in so many words - but he knows.

The old "national security" excuse.

But as they should know by now, not saying anything almost guarantees it'll happen again - and is therefore the real national security mistake here.

Oh, well. You never know.

They are laughing at us. The 2020 election isn't the solution.
