(98,883 posts)and focused on encouraging people either not to vote or vote third party through social media outlets, but as far as I am aware there has been no determination of actual voting machines were infiltrated, and votes got changed.
The DNC hacking, emails, etc. were all part of that campaign to spread disinformation and division among Democrats, but to ignore the contribution of the Comey release of the letter to the republicans in Congress, the media's characterization of it as "the email investigation was being reopened", (which was a lie), just enough self-identified progressives refusing to vote for the Democratic nominee by either voting third party or not voting, and simply the fact that 47% of the populous refused to even vote, leaves quite a lot out of the picture.
In those critical swing states, the Democratic nominee lost by less than 1%, and in those states Jill Stein received about 1% of the votes. In those same states the Democratic candidates running for Senate lost to the incumbent, establishment, republican, by a greater percentage than the Democratic nominee in those respective states.
