Does Hillary Clinton still have a path to the White House?
That’s the provocative question posed by some computer security experts, who think voting results in key states could have been manipulated by hackers.
The emphasis here is on “could.” There’s no clear evidence that voting machines were rigged or that ballots were altered, but as reported Tuesday night in New York magazine, a group of computer scientists and election lawyers has urged Clinton to call for a recount in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, three swing states that Donald Trump won--to the surprise of just about every pollster, pundit, and journalist in America. Clinton would have to win those states back in order to change the outcome of the election. And while it’s tempting to blame hackers, and not the failure of the political professional class, for Trump’s upset, experts warn not to get your hopes up for a shocking turnaround. For hackers to have changed the votes in three states would have been even more surprising than Trump’s victory.
“There is zero evidence of tampering right now. Zero,” David Becker, the executive director of the Center for Election Innovation and Research, told The Daily Beast. The simpler explanation for why the vote deviated from expectations and historical trends was that Barack Obama wasn’t at the top of the ticket. The results for Clinton “only look off when you compare them to the Obama elections” in 2008 and 2012, Becker said.
Now they want a mulligan.
Amen! Ever since the Civil War, the vast preponderance of election fraud and cheating in the United States has been done to benefit candidates of the Democrat Party! However the best laid plans of the fraudsters and cheaters sometimes don't quite flip election contests to them.
Maybe Jill Stein is just tweaking Hillary, knowing full well that a real investigation would incriminate Democrats.

Still, vigilance is the word. The scum will never give up, will never stop.
I think it obvious that significant shenanigans went on. But here’s the important part: it’s as much if not more of a problem at the front end (i.e fraudulent registrations) than when votes are actually cast.
In my opinion, the left knows there’s absolutely no chance of overturning the results of the election. The real objective here is to do whatever they can to demilitarize the Trump presidency. They’re bringing back the Al Gore playbook from the 2000 election - “He was selected, not elected.” The talking point for the next four years will be: “Hillary won the popular vote and should be the president, but the Electoral College stole the election from her.”
Couldn't agree more.
Amen. And any alien who votes or who attempts to vote in an American election should be busted and deported!
BINGO!
