What if Russian hackers were going for the voting machines, not just the email servers?

If you wanted to affect an election. Would you put all your resources into rehashing an old news story about emails that the public was already aware of and already said "enough with the damn emails!" ? Or would you aim your efforts on something that could actually affect the election directly?

We already know that technically it is possible to hack/rig an election. We've seen it demonstrated and documented many times by the world's most knowledgeable computer security experts.

We are now hearing that a Russian hacker put out a "virus" and his wife said "'The Virus My Husband Allegedly Created Was Related to Trump's Victory." A virus is exactly how the voting machines would be rigged. And no one would know. not the Secretaries of States, not the press, not the local officials. No one would know, unless there were real, robust hand-counted audits on the machines. To my knowledge that did not happen.

IMHO, the election results were so far off from the polling, it can't be explained easily.

One possible explanation has to be rigging. Any objective investigator would have to at least consider this as a possibility.
Of course the hand recounts in the states that had them showed if anything that the votes for Trump were under counted.

1. There is no question in my mind that any republican including

you know who got more votes than any democrat in all those surprise states.

They didnt.

IF it is ever proven with hard evidence, I dont know. There are more of us than them, this did not happen.
Please hold your breath until the results change.

9. So your theory is that somebody wrote a virus that worked

Not only across systems from different vendors, to non-networked systems, managed to match the national polls, and matched to counties in Wisconsin that were hand recounted? Your theory is, to be charitable, farfetched.

The voting machines were not kept in the bathroom of a private unsecured residence, unlike the email server you refer to.

The Russians, like the MSM, thought Hitlery was going to win.  To the extent they meddled with our election any more than we do with their elections - the typical lies, propaganda, secret intel operations leaking painful truth about the slime running in each country (And we have our worldwide media that's seen everywhere to do our own dirty work so it doesn't look so dirty) - their goal was just to cripple Hitlery, not make Trump the winner.

Why can't liberal radio be more successful?
Why can't liberal TV "news" outlets be more successful?
Why does DU have to shut down/kick out/ban any dissenting opinion?

Finally, the million dollar question... If they are more of you than us AND since you are so much smarter than us why do you lose so much?

If your answer is "because you cheat" tell me how a group that is both smaller and dumber (us) can keep outwitting a group that is larger and more intelligent (you)? No. Don't answer. I just did the math. I know your answer. 1+1=potato.
