Scientists Find "Persuasive Evidence" Of Vote Hacking, Demand Clinton Recount In 3 States
Zero Hedge ^ | 23 November 2016 | Tyler Durden

Posted on 11/25/2016 7:46:50 AM PST by Lorianne

Between the so-called 'Hursti Hack', questions over Soros-linked voting machines, some peculiarities in Texas, and the media furore over Trump's democracy-threatening questioning of the election outcome; it is perhaps ironic that, after being soundly beaten across the vast majority of counties in America, NY Mag reports, a group of prominent computer scientists and election lawyers are urging the Clinton campaign to call for a recount in three swing states won by Donald Trump after allegedly finding "persuasive evidence" of vote hacking.

A lawyer is not a scientist.

All the computer science majors I know are programmers, not IT security experts.

A computer scientist is someone working at the silicon level to develop ever more dense supercomputers, solve cooling issues, etc...

I studied computer architecture to get into microprocessor design.

If lawyers are involved, you can be sure their “prominent” Computer Scientists have at least once used a calculator to add 3 or more numbers.

They really just want those three states to be in the middle of a recount when the Electoral College meets.

Then they will say the electors can’t vote for Trump due to the “uncertainty” associated with the recount, keeping him from getting the 270 he needs on December 13.

Of course, it will eventually turn out that no changes will be made to those three states, and Trump will receive the EV, but it will draw it out and maybe give them time to think of even another delay tactic.

So are the Democrats in agreement we must work to make the voting process completely cheat proof then?

If Hillary had won and Trump was demanding recounts the media would be mocking him at every turn, calling him a sore loser etc.

ExTexasRedhead posted this fine response;

" Felons voted, illegals voted, the dead voted, and then there are ones who voted multiple times in multiple locations, in multiple states, how many seniors had RAT helpers fill out their ballots, how many addresses had ten or more registered to that house, how many fake names were there?? How many machines registered Hillary when the voter selected Trump?

Did the military vote get counted? How many millions were fraud? No one is questioning it or are they? What other means did the RATs use to commit voter fraud?

, Anyone else out there asking these questions? Hopefully, the Trump staff is! Obviously, the MSM isn’t.

Voter fraud has to be investigated, exposed, and stopped. People must go to jail or prison for committing voter fraud in order to stop it."

“1. Why is it unlikely the presidential election can be swayed by a hack?

The American election system is decentralized by design, with state, county and local governments all managing voting. Even though many precincts use voting machines, none are connected to the Internet, nor are they connected to each other.”

From the author of the study himself:

Were this year’s deviations from pre-election polls the results of a cyberattack? Probably not. I believe the most likely explanation is that the polls were systematically wrong, rather than that the election was hacked. But I don’t believe that either one of these seemingly unlikely explanations is overwhelmingly more likely than the other.

The liberal MSM so want this to be true that they are ignoring any argument to the contrary and basically misquoting the guy. Nate Silver also discounted this finding by running a regression with two logical control variables which made the significant finding disappear. In other words, Nate Silver showed that there are logical explanations for the results which do not involve hacking or vote tampering. This is basic scientific research: if viable alternative explanations exist, the specified finding is not persuasive, not matter how desperately Airhead Andrea Mitchell pleads for its persuasiveness.

Even without further analysis, the simple application of Occam's Razor shows that vote tampering is unlikely. The author tells us that he feels it is either 1) inaccurate pre-election polls or 2) computer hacking. Since when has pre-election polling been so accurate that we can assume that it provides a consistently valid expectation model? Every election cycle we have a myriad of examples where the pre-election polls were just flat wrong.

A real investigation will expose the dead, illegal, and multi-voting voters, along with the crooked voting machines that added to Hillary’s totals.

The Demonicrats must think they hid their corruption pretty well.

Reminds me of the 2000 Bush-Gore election where the Democrats in Florida wanted a recount - but only in four Democrat-heavy counties.

Macthally the “scientists” found no evidence at all of any hacking. As they acknowledged in their report

Let the scientists who serve the Dark Lord Sauron come forth that justice may done upon them!

Do these “scientists” have any degrees relevant to the sciences? or are they of the “self-proclaimed” variety.

The Democrat cities misjudged the number of votes needed to overcome the exurban vote. That is eminently UNFAIR and for that reason alone they should be given the chance to get it right.

Soros should be arrested in any event and should be forthwith extradited to a country in which he is a wanted man. There are a couple of those.

“scientists”??? I bet they are flunky LIB idiots who get taxpayer money for grants to promote their useless, biased “research”. What bums and losers. I have found “pervasive evidence” that they should be fired and exiled for their idiocy. Losers.
