1. The polls can't reflect how much Russia will put their thumb on the scale. nt

2. Cant reflect how much our allies might put on it either.

3. As they did with Gore and Kerry. In Kerry's case never have exit polls been so wide-off.

Independent watchers noted voter suppression, but also—and there were photos— ballots driven away, faulty machines, statistical anomalies in democratic leaning precincts.

Kerry had a hundred lawyers on the ground, voter rights groups gathered evidence to show cheating, but nothing came of these efforts. Kerry himself believed the election had been stolen from him although I believe he said so only years later and intended his comments to be off-record.

Given all we knew then and continue to discover about Republican election interference, I believe
Obama probably won by a landslide, which off-set yet another election year Republican attack.

This upcoming election will be even more vulnerable to cheating as Russia and other states have
undoubtedly upped their game. Meanwhile, less money than before, has been allocated to
protecting the vote through addressing voting machine susceptibility to hacking, their disrepair, general antiquity and to other means to ensure fair elections.
