The fact that even questioning if such a thing could have happened was strictly NOT ALLOWED. Nonetheless it was the overwhelmingly obvious answer to the questions my mind was asking election night. I now believe that control of discussion is part of an elaborate coverup. If Democrats question the result they are ostracized or treated as though they are fools or Luddites. Yet I've read very sober examinations of these systems where the research is detached from any actual results and experts find vast problems, such as these in the video, in these systems. We need to take a step back and proceed with caution once Democrats have a modicum of control again.

I vote in California and read somewhere prior to the election that when one of our more recent Secretaries of State in California took over the job they had a blue ribbon panel of computer experts from Stanford, Cal, and Cal Tech examine voting machines and vote tallying systems in the state. Could the totals be changed? The answer was yes, of course. So the experts helped with the decision about what mechanization to keep and what to scuttle. California vote totals are slow to be reported, but not hackable. I so, so wish I had saved the article, but I didn't.

One of the dumbest, most frustrating things elected Democrats do once they're in office is underestimate the evil in their Republican peers.
