Full Title: Russian hackers could FAKE voter fraud after the Presidential election to try and destabilize the US, claim government officials

U.S. intelligence and law enforcement officials are warning that hackers with ties to Russia's intelligence services could try to undermine the credibility of the presidential election by posting documents online purporting to show evidence of voter fraud.

The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said however, that the U.S. election system is so large, diffuse and antiquated that hackers would not be able to change the outcome of the Nov. 8 election.

But hackers could post documents, some of which might be falsified, that are designed to create public perceptions of widespread voter fraud, the officials said.

But hackers could post documents, some of which might be falsified? MIGHT be falsified?

At this point I would welcome ANYONE doing ANYTHING to make sure Trump wins.

H campaign internal polling is so bad, they will need to run stories like this. Then, send out some operatives to do some “voter fraud” which will be “uncovered” by their allies. Blame it on the Russians. Claim election is invalidated due to outside influence. Worst case: huge civil unrest, best case: Obama 3rd term (either is just fine to them).
___________________________________________________________

Civil unrest is a real possibility, but Obama would not be eligible for a third term no matter what happens other than martial law. The Electoral College would make a decision, and it would be final when validated by the Congress. If something happened to corrupt the decision of the Electoral College, Obama would not remain in power, but it would revert temporarily to the Speaker of the House until the situation is resolved. Paul Ryan would be president.

At least that is how I’ve always thought it to be, but I may be wrong. Please feel free to correct me.

Why would the Russians care about our elections now? They haven’t cared before

They care BECAUSE it’s Hillary. They are well aware she is an unstable lunatic, and any president bent on starting a war can find a way to do so. Hillary is obsessed with this “first woman” president thing, and she’s dying to prove to the world she has more cajones than any man, and that she is macho enough to take on the Russians, something male presidents have been reluctant to do since 1945. She is also dying literally, and wants to make the biggest splash possible before she kicks off.

These facts are not lost on the Russians. They see Hillary as easy to manipulate in corrupt dealings, but she can by no means be trusted. Trump is not so easy to work with as Hillary, but at least the Russians would know where they stand in any relationship. Trump is like a Jewish diamond merchant: not willing to give an inch if he can avoid it, but always fair. His clients always know where they stand. Hillary is like “Honest Al’s Pawn and Payday Loans”.

Putin doesn’t want a war with the US, but he knows Hillary would start one in a minute if it served her evil purposes.
