Trump, Putin and the hacking of an American election
The Boston Globe ^ | 7/28/16 | Hiawatha Bray

Posted on 07/28/2016 6:53:19 AM PDT by pabianice

Russia’s apparent election tampering — and Trump’s call for the Russians to expose Clinton’s deleted e-mails — shows that the insecurity of America’s data networks could undermine our ability to hold free and fair elections. But if the Russian president would go this far to pick our next president, why not take the direct approach? Why not tamper with the computers that manage the nation’s voting systems?

And the seed has been planted.

Meanwhile Communist China put out a big story against Trump, and are openly rooting for Clinton to win, but the media says nothing of that.

No wonder faith in these shills continues to decline among the American people.

If the computers can be tampered with, the DNC will do it this election. They do not intend to lose.

Trump, like most of us, assumes that both the Russians and the Chinese have already hacked her computers. They hacked State Department computers, and Pentagon computers, why would they not have hacked hers too?

Russian didn’t write the emails.

Russia didn’t choose to have an insecure home brew server.

Hillary is the JV team.

I’ll bet that the DNC is just milking the Chinese expats for dollars.

And the media won’t repeat any of that.

Only Trump can do it.

None of this would be an issue if Madam Secretary had done her computer security right in the first place.

Voting system tampering was always the long game attached to the hanging chads of 2000.

Once you combine the shameless propensity of political parties... especially the Left these days.... to do anything to win, with the hack-ability of software and the lack of an audit trail, you have the perfect formula for vote fraud.

There’s no need to throw about walking-around money, or bus in voters, or troll the old-age homes for votes if you can affect the totals directly.

Since the Dems are a full-service fraud enterprise, all avenues of tipping the scale will be explored; none will be ignored. But, messing with the machines is the true power-move, IMHO.

Because we can’t hold free and fair elections if the voters know how crooked the Democrats really are.

I'm more concerned over the contents of the emails than who might be responsible for revealing them. It's a logical fallacy to "refute" accusations and evidence by focusing on the motives of those making and presenting them, but unfortunately, the media now has the public more focused on who hacked the server than on the servers' damning contents thanks to this fallacy.

You'll notice that the DNC has made no effort to refute the revealed dirty tricks, just as Hillary will make no effort to refute evidence of her wrongdoing when it's revealed. They won't because they can't, so the only alternative as ad hominems on the sources and their motives.
