(7,358 posts)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.

(47,486 posts)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.

(54,770 posts)True, without Ruskies, Comey, Democrats mad because their candidate wasnt nominated, Dems complacent, suppression, lying and cheating GOPers, etc., he probably wouldnt have been elected. But he was and is in office.
GOTV in 2020, even if he doesnt run.

(4,341 posts)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 But nonetheless, the EC is a corrupt institution, the electoral system supporting the EC makes it outdated.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.

(21,636 posts)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.
