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.
But, of course, there's no analogy between that Un-American stance and the current stance of the Hillary followers.
F'-in hypocrites.
Rigged and ‘hacked’ they’ll talk about when they lose. But don’t EVER, NEVER, EVER speak to them about valid Picture IDs used in voting.
if, indeed, there was election hacking it was soro’s hackers who came up short on how many votes they needed to create to elect hildabeast.
now they want a mulligan.
‘WE DON'T WANT YOU AROUND!!!’ Got it yet???
Someone else posted in an earlier thread about this issue that Wisconsin, by law, has to certify their election results tomorrow, and unless there’s a financed request for a recount ( money will be needed since the vote count for Trump is outside the point where the state is obligated to run a recount), Wisconsin will be reported for Trump and it will be over based on his Electoral College count without either of the other two states is question.
I see that the tin foil hat crowd is back. What election have they lost where they don’t come up with this crap?
On the other hand, it's been reported by www.votefraud.org that 3 million illegals voted (RAT).
PEW, CNN and the LA times stated that 1.8 million dead were registered to vote (RAT).
Sorry bitch, no "cigar".
Liberals attempt to control the language and the terms of the debate at every opportunity.
They are able to get some traction with this because they control the MSM.
In the real, physical world, liberalism doesn't do very well as a philosophy. A large percentage of our society, our culture and economy, has moved into the virtual world of symbols, ideas and appearances. In this world, liberalism has a chance to survive and propagate.
Yes. That NY Mag article about the “group of scientists” was fake news from a fake news source.
Anything related to Trump from the mainstream news media must be treated as propaganda from now on, until extreme-vetted.
Oh but Jill Stein says...
Sorry Jill, you’re no E. F. Hutton. Nobody is listening.
Liberals are now concerned about election irregularities.
A month ago, they confidently declared we would have a fair and transparent election.
What has changed since then? Donald Trump won.
Now that view of the election has changed.
Actually, doesn’t this speculation bring up a perfect forum to bring up voter ID? Just point out that we need voter ID because we agree that we must do everything possible to guarantee election integrity.
Yes it is. As long as Democrats vehemently resist valid photo ID we know they are up to no good and fraud.
Every machine malfunction that I read about flipped votes from Trump to Clinton
Liberals have fought voter ID laws every step of the way.
Its rich to hear them complain the integrity of the election result is in question.
With these folks, we can never win.
If it gets reversed at this point it will only be because it’s fixed.
Hell yess, there was LOTS of cheating—but on Hillary’s behalf, not Trump’s.
Too bad—they just didn’t CHEAT ENOUGH!
Wow. That’s almost five million votes right there. Throw in Trump votes that were changed from him to Hillary in voting booths across the country plus millions of mail in ballots that were probably tampered with, and probably a good many Trump votes were thrown out. I think the total number of fraudulent votes Hillary got was around six million easy. Most of us thought Trump would win around 320-350 electoral votes. Vote tampering and illegals probably cost Trump in Nevada and Colorado. Vote stealing in Virginia, Minnesota and New Hampshire no doubt occurred. It makes you wonder what Trump’s real margin was in states like Michigan, Pennsylvania, Florida, North Carolina and Wisconsin was without the vote fraud. Obviously Trump did so well there the Dems couldn’t steal enough votes in those states to throw the election to Hillary. It just shows you how truly incompetent Dems truly are. Even with their side committing massive vote fraud they still lost!
It was a hack in itself to have illegales (ok dear PC folks, even undocumented’s) on the rolls. The vote was “yuge” and “bigly” enough to be seen even beyond that.
Whenever some smarmy RAT alleges voter fraud by the Republicans...slap em in the face with that.
(RATs oppose any form of voter ID)
