19. How many down ticket races were flipped too?

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2017/01/24/russians-suspected-hacking-wisconsin-dems/97023222/

POTUS, Vice POTUS, Supreme Court, the Senate, and not control of the House but
some House Races too.

We need new elections. This was a coup and we had treason.

23. this is war. call in the cia,

have them examine the voting machines in every one of those "former obama" counties in mich, wis, fla, and pa. run a full forensic accounting on the entire thing in those counties.
i think they flipped these counties for the bully points. so they could call yo mama.

and btw, you know they were watching the vote. watching for any internet traffic, but they didnt have access to every machine.
but i think these counties are key.

24. Many moving pieces in the coup

Russia/Trump working together

Comey/FBI/Rudy G/Eric Prince

Cross Check and voter suppression

The unending and unneeded hearings into nothing as per HRC

********

We need an audit of the election.

27. that should be our battle cry right now. audit the fucking election.

call in the cia. start w the surprises, duh.

and examine all provisional ballots. track those voters down and find out why they were not given a regular ballot. that is where voter suppression is documented. assume for every placebo ballot there are more voters who just left. or who knew they would face roadblocks at the polls.


from this thread-----------

The thing that burns me, really BURNS me about this Russiangate is that

Election fraud was commited. Hillary won. Hillary should be in the WH.

Neither does Hillary Clinton

Neither does Barack Obama

Neither does Bernie Sanders

There are plenty of things to learn about this election. Voting machine integrity isn't one of them.

I've been given briefings about why we lost from people involved in the elections. Vote flipping was not part of the equation.

I mean seriously the theory from the Trump camp is that "millions of people were bused in illegally" is completely absurd. Trump's claims of voter fraud abuse are going to blow up in his face Wiley Coyote style.

The lie serves the purpose of making people feel insecure about elections. Crying for an audit plays right into their families hands. Their goal is to get people to support policies that suppress the vote. Because someone skeptical of the results should want to see "stronger safeguards."

That were machine recounted. There was no statistically significant difference in votes being changed.

There is nothing to suggest the votes were changed. How is this any different than Republicans complaining about voter fraud with the evidence says the complaint is invalid?

was Outagamie County and the clerk REFUSED to do a hand count and examine the ballots. I live here and no one could understand why we weren't looking more closely at the anomalies. AND, none of our machines were examined either.

considering the surprising results, the anomalous results, we need more than navel gazing and embracing our rural brothers and sisters.
we need to know, w certainty, that this election is not tainted.
and if it was tainted only by propaganda, we need to be talking about that.

it is happening in france right now. their democracy needs to see that ours works.

lets examine those placebo ballots, and look closely at who was suppressed where. start w those surprising former obama counties.
lets look at who got bumped by crossheck.

i want someone to examine where the cheeto sporkhands circus came to town in all those unlikely little places. is that where he supposedly pulled voters out of the woodwork?
i have been saying for a while that they werent so much looking for votes as they were for marks. for low level grunts who want an autographed pic w the president and a little walking around money to make sure the right judges hauled the ballots to the receiving stations.
regardless of where that money came from, tho we all know that.

i want someone to examine why so many voting machines in detroit malfunctioned. i want to know how so many precincts were "uncountable"

we never got the audit we deserved in 2000.
why is this different? because it involves a hostile goddamned foreign government that has installed a mad man in the people's house. that's why.

we need this if there is to be confidence in our entire voting system, from the league of women voters and the dmv personnel to the final tabulators. it all needs to be examined. and we need to get a handle on how many voters were blocked by their bullshit laws. we need at least some number. how many regular dem voters missed this election? are they still registered?

we dont even need to talk here about the propaganda machine and foreign powers. i dont care if that foreign power is canada. when results are a surprise, they need to be verified.
if we cant do that, we need a new hava.
