A top-tier journal (AER, QJE, JPE) would be better evidence the article is good.

I'm open to evidence that votes were changed, but until we have actual evidence, I'm going to believe Comey and the other intelligence agencies who said "Votes were not changed".

We've got plenty to work on. Voter registration, turnout, turnout turnout. The GOP wants to suppress votes. That's a real, big problem we need to fix. Let's focus on that until proof comes in on this stuff.

It's not intended to be. The analysis is based on data and statistics.
I don't want the Russians (along with their American collaborators) performing election theft again.

The Russians and the Trump campaign used propaganda to hack our minds. That is known.
We don't know for sure about changing votes and every US intelligence official has said strongly that the Russians did not change votes (for example maybe the US was listening to the Russian intelligence agencies' planning - planning to use propaganda and saying they wouldn't go after voting machines).

The machines need to be secured in future. But right now what we all need to do is GOTV! Mobilize, organize and vote.
