    Computer security experts say they have evidence that results were hacked or manipulated in three key states that emphasize electronic voting.

    "In Wisconsin, Clinton received 7 percent fewer votes in counties that relied on electronic-voting machines compared with counties that used optical scanners and paper ballots. Based on this statistical analysis, Clinton may have been denied as many as 30,000 votes; she lost Wisconsin by 27,000."

      It's worth mentioning the name of Reince Priebus, Trump's new chief of staff and RNC chairman. He was previously the Wisconsin Republican chair.

      He and Scott Walker, the Republican Wisconsin governor, have great influence over the state elections there.

        As the article points out, the three states would swing the election in favor of Clinton. And those are just the three states they have identified so far.

        Trump would end up with 260 and Clinton would have 278.

        Regardless, do you believe any voting irregularities favoring either candidate should be investigated?

            Even if what you say is true, which most non-partisan experts say is not, you can't compare a local election with a national one.

            I guess you don't think people hacking our presidential elections is a problem. OK, we're clear.

                    I'll point out again what I have already stated, repeatedly. Every incident of voter fraud I have heard of in my lifetime is done by democrats. I suppose I can be one sided and insist that the republicans must do it just as often but that is difficult since I haven't heard of any. When the number of incidents by one side come close the number by the other I'll change my mind.

                I think, since the US government isn't investigating this means it doesn't warrant investigation. If it did I would think all citizens would support it.

                As it stands it is simply another example of grasping because some don't want to eat sour grapes. Thank goodness the government doesn't act on every goose chase some want them to engage in.

                  Besides, it's not a federal government choice. It is done by a state via anyone who pays for it. Jill Stein has already come up with the money for a Wisconsin recount. It's a done deal.

                    I will say, as I have already stated in this thread, if there is a reasonable doubt backed by some evidence it should be investigated.

                    Forget about that. Think of it like this. We, the people of the United States, want to have faith that our vote counts. We want the election process to move forward with honesty.

                    Now, a Republican won the White House. I doubt a Democrat in the land is happy about that and I doubt Obama is over joyed. If there is evidence that there is wrongdoing or tampering the majority will demand that it be corrected. I'm quite certain if there were a reasonable reason to believe that any tampering had occurred that the current administration would move forward with some type of investigation.

          You are more confused than your comments if you think the Daily News is a conservative newspaper. Some have suggested that The New York Daily News’ editorial page is as reliably conservative as the right-leaning New York Post. It is not. The evidence? One does not have to sift through the pre-Obama-era archives in order to find examples of left-leaning op-eds at The New York Daily News. http://www.mediaite.com/online/no-the-n … y-is-huge/

          Before you try another feeble attempt to support your nonsense I have to tell you since you seem not to think anything through, once the left media gets something out there other venues, even conservative may pick up on it because after all they need to make money from advertising so the band wagon of any story that may increase circulation is often jumped on.

          And the left knows it, that's why they create the fake news, they know it will get copy just because venues want to make money.

      And the DNC had "rapid response teams" available to act if there were allegations of conservative vote fraud, intimidation, etc. But they didn't act until after blaming sexism, stupid voters, the FBI and fake news first?

      All these allegations are the Democrats trying to attack the legitimacy of President Elect Trump, poisoning the well.

On that story it was the hacking of emails that exposed the truth about hillary. Now the story has morphed into they hacked the electoral system. Recently I believe obama told putin to "cut it out" or he is going to tell mommy. Something like that. Of course no shred of evidence has been put forth just innuendo.

    Very interesting "evidence".  Wisconsin counties went Trump 48-13 over Clinton.  And some counties used electronic voting.  Therefore Clinton got cheated of 30,000 votes.

    How about we find some computer hacking, with a trail showing changed votes?  Except that the people providing this valuable information (but refusing to put their name on it) can't find any.Heck, why don't we just claim that every other vote was changed somehow - that way she will definitely win!  But hurry - she's running of time to claim fraud in this lopsided election!

    (Wonder if it ever occured to anyone that TRUMP got cheated in ares that did NOT use electronic voting)

      Do you agree that voting irregularities in favor of either candidate should be investigated?

      1. wilderness profile image95
        wildernessposted 7 years agoin reply to this

        Depends on if we have any reason to think there were irregularities.  And, I suppose that considering the enormous cost, whether it would change anything might be a consideration.  As there is nothing but a tenuous statistical anomaly (so tenuous the "finders" won't even go public with their names), and it won't change anything, I'd say no in this case.

        As Trump already won, the insinuation that he lost thousands of votes when paper ballots were thrown away doesn't seem like a winning proposition to spend a lot of money giving him a bigger lead.  I'd think we'd be better off to look into why voters in a few areas of the state voted against the majority (I'm assuming that these unnamed areas went blue).  Are even the cities, liberal as they are, getting fed up with the swamp?

          I agree there is an important difference between manipulations and anomalies. The process should prove which one is the cause.

          For the record, Trump has not already won. The Electoral College doesn't vote until mid December, and Congress doesn't ratify the vote until January. A recount before those dates could change the outcome.

      As I keep asking, and people on the right keep ignoring, should voting irregularities favoring EITHER candidate be investigated? Do posters on the right support the U.S. Constitution and U.S. election laws? Do they support hacking if it gets their candidate into the White House?

        The "Computer Security Experts" claim is based on statistics (albeit poorly formulated) and the idea that the voting machine "could" be hacked.  Has nothing to do with voting rights.  It is a combination of fantasy and faulty logic.  The article debunks the whole claim.  Nothing to investigate. 

        Regarding the whole topic of investigating irregularities, I suppose if we had a justice department that was not corrupt, it would be reasonable to investigate legitimate voting irregularities starting with the biggest frauds perpetrated on the US electorate which are non-citizen voting and ballot stuffing.

    Recount - The last great gasp of a dying alt-left party line. --  Here's the thing - What does anyone expect from a party that  compromised  the entire election process  in the Clinton crime theater ?  They compromised  the party itself   ,they compromised and criminalized the DNC election system , they bought out and compromised  the media ethics ,accuracy and what little honor they had left to begin with  , they compromised the  very counting process of all elections .    What they couldn't do was convince the electoral college in the final  mainstream election process to " take the fall";   WHY IN the World is anyone surprised that Hilary is NOW "All  in" on the recount , in spite of her declaration of  "accepting the election outcome "?

    I know the answer she's all in ; for  the $ !!!!!

            Wrong, a recount will do nothing to find illegal voters. The machines don't identify who any voters are or who they voted for.

                  1. Many studies have proven that "illegal votes" are propaganda spread by the likes of Breitbart and other fake news sites. More than 1 BILLION votes have been reviewed with only a handful of fraud cases found.

                  https://www.brennancenter.org/analysis/ … fraud-myth

                  2. All states require registration by address. You must confirm your address when you vote. You just don't walk into any polling place you want and vote without a registered address.

                  3. All states require some form of identification or proof of address.

                  4. The fact that some states don't require a PHOTO identification doesn't mean that you can vote without proof.

                  "These states have "non-documentary" ID requirements, meaning voters must verify their identity in other ways, such as by signing an affidavit or poll book (that match a registered address), or by providing personal information. In addition, all states have procedures for challenging voter eligibility." - National Conference of State Legislatures

                  5. Finally, the recount numbers must match the ballots, which must match the registrations of voting addresses, which are confirmed by the proofs of identification.

                  If any major fraud is done, it is done in the databases and not in the fantasies of Donald Trump and Breitbart.

      They did Wisconsin and Trump came out 131 more ahead leaving him over 22,000 votes ahead. So much for hacking Wisconsin which officials said after the recount could never happen. I wonder where all those millions Stein raised are going? Pretty obvious now why the presidential nominee of the Green Party of the United States for President in 2016 and 2012, Jill Stein, who received only 469,627 votes for President of the United States in the 2012 general election and 1.1% of the national vote in 2016 is a loon. No wonder no one votes for her.

        Neither do I, as far as his character and personality goes he leaves a lot to be desired although I can give him the benefit of the doubt that running for President and  taking such a huge mantle onto his shoulders will and probably has changed him for the better.
        But the real issue has never been personality but policies and mostly conservative ones at that. That's what a vote for him was, and it was against another four years of Obama which is the best of everything Hillary offered, the worst being much worse.
        If electors are going to take it upon themselves to corrupt the electoral college they are not doing it to Trump, they are spitting in the face of the country, every American and the constitution and patriotic citizens will not stand for it. In the end you will find all these things, news about recounts, the Russians, electors "voting their conscience" are simply fake news stories created by the MSM to continue their collusion with the Democrats in trying to dupe the public into questioning Trumps legitimacy to have won the election. Just like Wisconsin recount and their machines being rigged none of these stories will ever pan out and they know it but mission accomplished if they dupe an uninformed public (their main constituents) into believing their fake news.  I guarantee you their duped followers months from now, even years will be sighting the recount as evidence Trump cheated the election even though the results prove he didn't, they won't even know what the outcome of the recount was.

          "But the real issue has never been personality but policies and mostly conservative ones at that."

          Disagree.  I think that mostly it was about saying "We're tired of liars, cheats, scoundrels and criminals in Washington.  We're tired of politicians that don't listen, that base every vote and decision on what's good for them personally.  We're sick of the "status quo" in Washington.  Let's try something else".  Yes, conservative concepts played a part as did the perceived massive racism and bigotry to those few that live that way.  But mostly it was about a change, a change to anything but what we have now.

          I do think that the Russians, and a lot of other countries besides, tried to influence the election.  I also think that we do the same thing and that it has been going on for decades if not centuries. 

          But I certainly agree that liberals and specifically the media are trying very, very hard to subvert the election.  To dupe people into believing falsehoods and tall tales.  That, too, has been going on since time immemorial but does seem to be getting worse; the truth just isn't something to put out the the people at all anymore.

            Wilderness, I agree that did play a big part but that was the reason the Republicans won the house in 2010 and the senate in 2014 neither of which gave them power to undo Obama's left wing agenda. This year the bottom line and as I said," the real issue," I didn't say the popular issue,  was the last chance to put conservatives in control and put constitutionalists on the SC and virtually do away with the left by giving Trump the chance to drain the swamp.

              We'll have to agree to disagree on this minor (or maybe not so minor) issue.  I see the elections you mention as a party thing to maintain Republican values, but this time it was about maintaining the people's values.  Not values as to where the country is going, but personal values that they consider a leader should have.  A much different thing. 

              Yes, the SCOTUS concept got a few Repub's in there, the total control got some more, but all those people that don't truly care about party affiliations is what swung the election and they voted Trump as a clean up and a return of government to the people.  IMO, of course.

                Well at least maybe we can agree Yoda Speaks nailed it when he said above

                "This quote from that NY Magazine article says it all

                "The group is so far not speaking on the record about their findings and is focused on lobbying the Clinton team in private."

                Just more BS from the left wing media"

                Some people are just suckers for non sourced or unsubstantiable headlines that aren't real news but propaganda (fake news) and as long as the liberal media plays that game there will be dupes out there who buy into it every time.

                    So you think because you were duped by that fake news article they had to be? That's weird when the FBI disagrees with the CIA but you wouldn't know that because you never investigate fake news. Secondly no one from the CIA upper echelon is on record that Russia hacked the election. Clapper, director of the CIA has lied under oath to Congress and the American people, already been told by Trump he's gone so he has reason to create a fake news story aimed at Trump. Face it promisem you've been duped into creating forum discussion about fake news, the article you cited as the basis for this forum topic!. Yoda speaks had you pegged.

    Of course facts state otherwise. Detroit has been caught, counting more votes than were actually cast....somewhere in at least the hundreds, probably counting up to thousands. They are promising the investigate. In WI, the recount gave Trump more votes.

    Seriously though, can we let it go? LET IT GO! It's over! My gosh this election has brought out the biggest bunch of cry babies the world has ever seen!

    I saw nothing of the sort as Rep lost 2 straight prez elections. In fact, just the opposite. After each loss they got off their butts, worked hard, retook the house, then the senate...and now the president.

    But then hard work seems to be a dirty word. Give me coloring books or give me death!
