(894 posts)I truly don't believe that scenario.
To think of a hack of that magnitude would require almost every part of the government to be asleep at the wheel.
They would have had to hack non networked systems, paper ballot counting machines and the local lil ole lady at the voter table. And done it under the eyes of multiple government agencies in country and at the border. It's a plan that would have taken 10 or so years to pull off and even that would presuppose Hillary, Donald and Bernie in this exact scenario.
That's rabbit hole thinking.
Even your analogy is wrong.
If the timer was not run for your run nothing would have counted.
If it was 10 seconds later, you would have run a 6 second race. If it was late for your opponent, by 10 secs, that would be too obvious.
To pull off something, it has to be subtile. I could almost buy that the EC could be manipulated in certain states. But not by large margins. And not obvious.
That, and you have to understand that no organization is all that bright, because people in groups can't organize a sack race w/o drama.
