If They Said Russia Had Hacked The Electronic Voting Systems

What would change? Nothing. Do you think they would hold a new election? LOL!!! Change to paper ballots? LOL!!!!

Have more committees to investigate, and then do nothing......BINGO!!

If there was something deeper, you can bet they'll do everything to keep it from coming out. And if it ever did, it's still a done deal, and we still have no power to object.

"we the people" were never meant to have any power.

the power has always been in the hands of the wealthy and the well connected.

we just go through the charade every 4 years take make it feel as if we actually participate in something meaningful.

Spot on. The media and our overlords need us to think we have a say, and elections are important.

The future is already preordained, and they will rule us as they see fit.
