Computer scientists urge Clinton campaign to challenge election results
CNN ^ | November 22, 2016 | Dan Merica

(CNN)Hillary Clinton's campaign is being urged by a number of top computer scientists to call for a recount of vote totals in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, according to a source with knowledge of the request.

The computer scientists believe they have found evidence that vote totals in the three states could have been manipulated or hacked and presented their findings to top Clinton aides on a call last Thursday. The scientists, among them J. Alex Halderman, the director of the University of Michigan Center for Computer Security and Society, told the Clinton campaign they believe there is a questionable trend of Clinton performing worse in counties that relied on electronic voting machines compared to paper ballots and optical scanners, according to the source. The group informed John Podesta, Clinton's campaign chairman, and Marc Elias, the campaign's general counsel, that Clinton received 7% fewer votes in counties that relied on electronic voting machines, which the group said could have been hacked. Their group told Podesta and Elias that while they had not found any evidence of hacking, the pattern needs to be looked at by an independent review.

Do they really want to go here? What about all the machines that were changing votes from Trump to Clinton? They would have to be programmed on purpose to do that. Would they like those investigated, too?

“Scientists” are so much overrated

The Fifth Column does not need evidence - simply start a meme.

FUD is the currency.

Some have moved on to Bargain (Ok, pick Romney and it’s all good. See Joe Scarborough). Trump should just go for the outsiders (Kobach will make their heads spin....So I want him)

Nice posturing though, for the empty heads that take anything that the media says at face value.

Especially, from the Clinton News Network! As President Trump said, "They're all liars at CNN!"

Are Top Computer Scientists just like Top Climate Experts ?

In any other period of American History I would laugh at these shenanigans, but in today’s surreal USA, I have to say that everyone should be girding their loins, as they say. Ask yourself what you would be willing to do if the Left pulls off some kind of election theft. I’m taking nothing for granted until Trump is sworn in in January

How could anyone dispute the lack of political bias by university professors? /sarc

Not that Hillary would have any shame — but . . . if I were her I would be embarrassed.

Imagine after graciously conceding the election, I simply walk back on the stage and say, “Thanks, guys. Well, I guess I’ll call up the caterers and reorder.”

Of course, I’m not Hillary. I’m aware how rabid she can be, but the electoral vote was enough to hold up a mirror: nearly half the country despises her. A walk to the White House at this point would be a humiliating experience.

I thought the media said you shouldn’t question the results.

Oh, and it just happens to be in three states that went for Trump. Gee, not a hint of bias from these “scientists.” What about New Hampshire? Nevada? New Mexico? Minnesota? Virginia? States that went blue are apparently free of any problems!

The Russians did it.

This is so predictable and so fake, just like their polls. Boycott all CNN sponsors.
