Why is Jill Stein taking the lead in instigating a recount?

61. 538 doesn't mention they have Diebold and Sequoia

Optical scanning machines can be hacked in similar ways especially with a memory card which is a recipe for disaster with partisan election officials but aside from that these piece shit machines go on the fritz all the time, miscount votes, there is plenty of evidence of them suppressing the vote or falling apart when they're trying to vote. Those two manufacturers are corrupt they changed their name because of their corruption. You should see what they were caught doing in other countries and we have short memories of things they did inside this country.

Let me addess the providing proof though

If the election is hacked, we may never know

The upcoming U.S. presidential election can be rigged and sabotaged, and we might never even know it happened.

This Election Day voters in 10 states, or parts of them, will use touch-screen voting machines with no paper backup of an individual's vote; some will have rewritable flash memory. If malware is inserted into these machines that's smart enough to rewrite itself, votes can be erased or assigned to another candidate with little possibility of figuring out the actual vote.

If the voting machine firmware doesn't match what the vendor supplied, "it's like you burned all the ballots," said Daniel Lopresti, a professor and chair of the Computer Science and Engineering Department at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania. "We have no way to confirm that we can really trust the output from the machine," he said.
This election in particular has computer scientists and security experts worried. They are concerned that electronic voting machines, voter tabulation and registration systems will be hacked. If an attack causes a polling place backup and some voters to leave and go home, the vote is reduced.

This may be as effective as voting-machine tampering in affecting the outcome. It may also undermine confidence in the results. Pennsylvania is attracting the most concern. It is a swing state and many counties use touch-screen systems that do not use a paper ballot or produce a paper record -- for the voter to inspect -- of the voter's intent.

Hacked or not we need an audit of this election because of all the issues they caused, how many oeople didn't vote because multiple machines went down in key states.

These machines are notoriously vulnerable and outdated I can think of a thousand things more secure. Far more easy to hack than an Iphone and without a trace because the software is so outdated so unless they are caught red handed or confessed the only way to determine is if the numbers are off.

I'm very suspicious of states that are entirely electronic with no audit.

I'm tired of Silver and his constant generalizations and weren't his numbers showing those 3 states blue?
