Is trying to make sure that Trump is elected. This whole election needs to be re done without voting machines. The ones that think Trump will obey the law and follow regulations are dreaming. In another article shows that since the russian hack of our election Putin's popularity among republicans is going up. Shows that they are not as patriotic as they claim.

No one would ever know for sure. And America would continue to be great.
