Please read this:
I understand the threats to the legitimacy of the election, the 1-acre 1-vote nature of the electoral college, along with the impact of what may have been coordinated foreign interference and more.
On MLK Day, however, its important to see something else that was at play also. A fallacious, scurrilous crosscheck list of voters names across states, dubbed Interstate Crosscheck", flagged suspected double voters across state lines, by sending participating states the names of voters that were only partial matches. Screen shot of some of the matches is shown directly below. A much larger, clearer image of the name matches can be seen here at the reporters website (gregpalast.com). Note Greg Palast uncovered Crosscheck in a research project published by Al Jazeera America, which is no longer operating. The reporting is republished here [November 2014], and at his own website.
