Showing Original Post only (View all)Strong circumstantial evidence says vote totals were altered in 2016 (but few will admit it). [View all]
https://www.countable.us/articles/5863-evidence-shows-hackers-changed-votes-2016-election-admit-michael-harriot-root"So far, most of the news has focused on the disinformation part of the narrativethat Russia posted misleading ads on Facebook and spread propaganda on other social media outlets. We know Russian agents paid protesters and created false news reports.
Aside from the widely known Twitter bots, the hacking part has been largely underreportedmostly because of the difficult-to-explain technological intricacies of the story and the vastness of the Russian effort.
U.S. officials will admit that Vladimir Putin interfered with the 2016 election. They dont specifically deny that Russian operatives altered votes. They will only say they cannot confirm that fact. They will say that there is no conclusive evidence to support it.
That is simply not true."

The Russians did not need to alter votes because the GOP already had done it.
