This is a discussion board. This is not the "I have to prove something to you because you think I need to stifle my speech (or in this case, post) to suit YOUR spite. I don't. I'd love to see our machines examined...by now, the chain of command would muddy it though, wouldn't it? But I digress...

There is a dichotomy going on here at DU:

1) One one hand, we're an anonymous bunch of activists, too small to make an difference, and certainly not important enough for the Russians to hack on election day

2) On the other, we aren't supposed to say 'VOTING MACHINES WERE HACKED' because our influence is so vast that it might dissuade people from voting and adversely effect our credibility.
