It's a given that Russia messed with the election.

Strange thing is they don't think anything was done to the vote count.

My guess is the rigging of any machines was done long before the election and triggered to disappear on the day after the election.

The only recourse in the constitution that I can see about a rigged election is the electoral college. They are the ones who have to think hard and long now before they cast their vote.

Unfortunately there is no "in case of emergency, break glass".

Only the courts or the president has any power in this case.

We were stunned election night.

We question the Hillary campaign, the DNC, the rigged primary, the corrupt politician.

We question the Electoral College and the Constitution.

We question the vote, the vote count, the voting machines, the programs loaded into the voting machines.

We question the FBI, the CIA, Congressional leadership, the Obama Administration.

Now we have conclusive proof of foreign powers picking our candidates and rigging the votes for them?

You ever see a drowning man flailing away?

It hurts to lose.
