If they did happen, we have to find the source and do everything in our power to prevent it from happening again.

If they did not happen, we need to know that too so we can determine the real reason for our loss and work from that point.

At any rate, this is something that warrants a full investigation and corrective measures need to be put in place to assure that we have a reliable election process.

would hijack the issue and find a way to blame the Obama administration.
The new about DHS supposedly accessing the Georgia voter registration database gave me a vision of what the trump administration is likely to do to further the cause of the GOP.

The disinformation efforts of bannon reinforced by shreds of truth from actual agencies and records would be devastating to the public intelligence level.

Hopefully better late than never. Hopefully something good comes of the inquiry.
