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?

Is the MSM now embracing the conspiracy theories about hackable Diebold voting machines?

>>>Russia’s apparent election tampering<<<

Nice Urban Myth they have there. Clinton’s Campaign Manager makes something up out of thin air and now it’s fact.

Goebbels would be proud of his Charges.

The DNC is in total control of that system and has made it unhackable. Remember that Stalin said something like “ It is not who votes, but who counts the votes.”

Lol. This is rich. RATS in 2000 programmed machines to give votes to Algore. In Albuquerque. They were caught because there were more votes than ballots. And the ballots were paper and could be recounted. They have had time to become slightly more competent.

The Democrats have already got the voting machines covered. Fast Eddie Rendell took care of that when he was head of the DNC. .

What the Hell are they talking about? Hillary’s emails are not and never have been a National Security issue, just chit chat with her family. I am confused, please help.

Russia didn't write the emails and they have "0" proof that Russia intercepted them.

Of course, we hacked Merkel's private phone, the Brazilian leaders phone.... etc etc

Guess what....every major country on earth does it.

As far as "influencing" the election...I'd say that was the purpose of the emails.

Then there's Obama...in the UK....with Cameron....influencing the Brexit Vote....said it was just being a good friend...

He’s saying that our inability to cover up our rampant corruption and dirty tricks could cost us fair elections?

‘Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing’

Where did he say “hack” here?

But the Democrats already have that down to a science.

The real story is how sloppy and irresponsible the democrats are.


What a rosy picture you have of the Dems. Actually, calling them merely irresonsible and sloppy is a grave disservice. They’re enemies, traitors and criminals, and they’re doing everything they do ON PURPOSE.

Screw these morons, the “tampering” is what’s been revealed about the DNC tilting the scales of the party process in favor of one candidate.

Count the TOTAL FIRST!

TOTAL FIRST protects against vote fraud. Then fraud votes cannot be added later.

Why has America not used TOTAL FIRST already??
