Computer scientists urge Clinton campaign to challenge election results

(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.

And what the heck is a “computer scientist”?
That is a meaningless phrase.
I’ve been in IT for 20 years and I’ve never met a “computer scientist”.

It took 4 years to pay off her debt from losing the 2008 nomination.

How long will it take to pay off the debt of a losing election ?
Her campaign has been stiffing people all along the way.

Add to that the cost of any contested election in any state, much less 3 states.
Only to find out that she lost and this makes it official, official ?

PA counties must certify by 11/28/2016
Mi will canvas and certify on 11/28/2016
WI wont certify until the time for recount has passed. They have a lot of caveats for when that could be.

These people are batcrap crazy

The only fraudulent poll is the one that concluded these computer scientists were “top”.

That’s “J. Alex”. See https://jhalderm.com

This guy needs to step up his publications. He’s not lead author on anything in this decade, other than blogs. Teaches one class per semester, plus “a massive online course.”

Yeah, “Scientist”.

Wait, the article refers to “experts”, the “group” and “acesdemics”, but only names (doesn’t quote) 1 seldom-published “scientist” and a lawyer.

FAKE NEWS SITE

I have a Master’s in Computer Science and I urge her to go away and stay away.

> Clinton received 7% fewer votes in counties that relied on electronic voting machines

According to my analysis, Clinton received 7.5% more votes in communities that relied on paper ballots. Clearly fraud has taken place there.
