2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumFor those who follow info on election fraud...
From page 1---"It is enough that the people know there was an election. Those who cast the votes decide nothing. Those who program the computers decide everything."
-- Joseph Stalin (updated quote)
At 8:00PM the polls closed in Massachusetts. At 8:01, the CNN web site briefly displayed their exit poll results:
52% for Sanders vs 46% for Clinton.
From page 2---
In 8 of the 9 states where we have data, the exit polls showed lower percentages for Clinton than the official counts that came out later. The margins of error should have been in the neighborhood of 3%, but in all the states except Vermont, the discrepancies were larger than this. Only in Massachusetts was the discrepancy large enough to change the winner, but proportions matter for the allocation of convention delegates. (These facts as reported by Ted Soares, who had his computer ready to capture exit polls from each state as they came out. The chart below also comes from Ted.)
Election Theft and the Media
Whoever writes the rules has declared that it's OK to write about disenfranchisement and Jim Crow and ID laws that keep poor and minorities from voting and private companies hired to "clean up the data" in voter registration, eliminating people of color in the process. It is fine to talk about indirect means by which the vote is tilted to the right, but it is definitely not fine to talk about vote theft blatant and direct via the computer programs that count our votes. Just in the last 14 years, computerized voting has swept the American states, and with it there have been laws and procedures assuring that the computer totals are beyond independent scrutiny or cross-checks.

OP
I am sick that we can't trust election results in this country. Should have been fixed long ago.

Not the first, won't be the last. I applaud those who actually pay attention to this matter. The problem is they are a teeny-tiny minority who get treated badly by everyone.

And of course equally much should be fixed right now!

And so we are force-fed a false narrative based on falsified data. And, oh yeah, theft.

Democrats joined in the rush for computerized voting, amazing. They may as well have put "Kick me" sign on their own back.
Every aspect of USA voting is quite questionable.
