(20,999 posts)Little-by-little and in drips-and-drabs, we will probably find out that Russia indeed not only had the capacity, but PROBABLY DID CHANGE ACTUAL ELECTORAL RESULTS in certain select locales that could/would decide the election. No one wants to admit nor own up, because it could highlight what a partisan joke our electoral system has become. We outsource the most important functions of our government to partisan factions THAT IN ESSENCE, ANSWER TO NO ONE. Their source code is private. The results are not independently verifiable.
Thank you, Reality Leigh Winner! Your Country owes you a debt of gratitude!
