Why didn't the Obama campaign do anything about the various vote-counting conspiracies?

[cthulu2016]

The Obama campaign has internet access so it's not like any of this stuff was completely unknown to them. The Obama campaign knew that some Romney kid investing in the voting machines and emergency software patches and everything that has ever been alleged about Ohio-2004.

So why was the Obama campaign indifferent to things like software patches, and who owned a stake in what voting machine companies?

The Obama campaign in the primaries and in 2008 and in 2012 was surely the most sophisticated campaign in American history about votes and vote counting... about the mechanics of elections... how you get a vote into the Obama column.

An incompetent campaign could overlook all sorts of things, but it is hard to picture the Obama 2012 campaign blithely overlooking an opposition plan to change the vote totals.

It is possible that they would overlook a serious problem, of course. Humans are fallible. But since Obama 2012 was institutionally aware of all the theories and concerns, their seeming disinterest in them is suggestive that the campaign did not think these things to be credible threats.

1. I hope they can now use the same technique

to get their programs passed. Or think of a way to overcome the hard line Republicans who are ruining this Country

3. oh stop it, that's just a crazy conspiracy theory

No one can hack computers! Stop saying that!

Yeah, that's what would happen. Even tho we all know computers are hacked every day and THOSE computers have been hacked up down and sideways. YOU are still crazy for suggesting it.

You wonder why they didn't "do" anything?

Cuz NO ONE CAN!!!

If anyone tried they would instantly be marked as CRAZY and a furious storm of opposition would thrash them into the earth. And no one is strong enough to rise above that, no matter how much evidence they have.

4. And that's why we won't hear what Obama did

If they had come out and complained they would have felt the wrath of the deniers just as you described.

Whatever they did, it worked and the election was not hacked. Note that in the weeks before the election there were several news stories that came out detailing some of the incidences of machine misappropriations of votes. Good PR those stories.

Who knows, Obama's people could have infiltrated Anon and did what Anon is said to have done.

The real tell will be what Obama will do in the next year. I hope this whole Anon biz hits the mainstream and gets the country talking much like we are doing here and now.

Oh, and Kos can kiss my ass, him wanting to limit discussion.
