as it is possible to hack our electronic voting machines.
That is well above my pay grade. I don't have the authority, the tools or the skills to determine that. That would be largely up to the intelligence agencies of our government and the FBI.
To the best of my knowledge no one has found any proof of such hacking of our voting machines. Of course if there is proof positive of such activity the results of the election would be questionable and perhaps should be voided. in my opinion suspicion that it could have happened is nowhere near the evidence that would be required to overturn the election.
It does appear the Russians hacked the DNC computers and possibly provided info on John Podesta's email to WikiLeaks. Obviously this is way out of line but apparently the information revealed was accurate. For example several people at the DNC resigned from their jobs including Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
Following the release by Wikileaks of a collection of emails indicating that Schultz and other members of the DNC staff showed bias against the presidential campaign of Senator Bernie Sanders in favor of Hillary Clinton's campaign,[2] Wasserman Schultz resigned her position as chairperson of the Democratic National Committee after the 2016 Democratic National Convention.[3] She was subsequently appointed honorary chair of the Clinton campaign's "50 state program".[73]

The release of Podesta's email obviously hurt Hillary but there doesn't seem to be any solid proof that they were false or fictional.
I totally despise any foreign nations interfering in our elections and have the same feelings about our interfering in the elections of other nations. Still I don't think we can overturn the election because DNC and Podesta's email were released to the voters.
In my opinion we better have damn good reason to overturn the results of the latest Presdential election. It definitely would create a constitutional crisis and most likely a severe backlash against the Democratic Party. It might even precipitate violence and possibly cause some states to consider seceding from the Union.
As I said in my opinion the best approach is to impeach Trump if and when he steps too far over the line. If that proves impossible than work to vote him out if office in 2020. However I agree that we are both entitled to our own opinions.
In passing we do live in interesting times.
