Let's start hacking elections. Here me out.

First, apparently it's legal now, or at least if you win they can't prosecute.

Second, I don't want close elections that might be misconstrued as legitimate. I want 95-5 elections for everything.

I figure if we hire the right hackers they can completely exploit the system and give us 80-90 Senate seats and 400+ in the House. I want state houses and governors' mansions.

Then we can get some shit fixed over the next couple of decades. I also figure that after we blatantly steal the fuck out of a few elections, we'll get paper ballots that can be recounted by hand from then on out.

Come on people. Get behind my drive to #HackTheVote because it's not illegal if you win, and man oh man are we going to win the fuck out of some elections (wink).





It's either that or king trumps for the next 20 years.

4. Well, you usually only find evidence if you go looking for it

They went looking for it in Florida, and sure enough, they found it.

Has anyone looked elsewhere? In Wisconsin, for example. The election results up here have seemed hinky ever since Walker and Schimel took office.


*note: By 'hinky', I mean bags of unlocked ballots showing up out of nowhere in Waukesha County, old Chicago-school stuff like that.

All they came up with is that it “could have happened.” Well, Jeez, anything could have happened.

BTW : That’s all that was found in Florida regarding vote hacking. No evidence was found that hackers got into voting machines or county/state reporting and changed votes.
