(7,968 posts)there are various avenues for hacks. If I were US intelligence, I would be looking VERY CAREFULLY at this. The machines are not as "secure" as they want us to believe. And all of the security assumes no insiders with Russian "sympathies."
I believe that the election itself was indeed hacked and perhaps at all levels. Tabulator, precinct, district, county and state. Just some key places in critical states is all that is needed. And it is randomized enough to be below the threshold of obvious detection.
Obviously, since tabulators are not "hooked to the internet" you need operators on the ground. But you don't need that many and they only need to randomize key tabulators (ones in heavy Clinton precincts rendering those districts irrelevant). Such a hack would be undetectable.
Something was very badly wrong on November 8th that much we all know. How or what exactly was wrong, I don't think we know and we may never know.
