Over this year we ALL discover our neighbors and indeed most of our communities are dems or at least anti-Trump, but then on election day lots of problems, outages, etc. And Trump is re-elected 58% to 42%. Will we still buy it that the software is not tampered with ?

Barrack Obama won Indiana in 2008. Times were getting bad but I still think we do not know that the rig on the machines either wasn't installed for McCain or didn't work as it usually does. That may be the way Indiana always votes and we don't in know it yet !
