24. And they forgot the 2006, 2008 and 2012 elections?

Those polls you cite all dropped after the October Comey announcement. The national polls were as accurate as 2012. Did Obama steal that election? It's embarrassing that people continue to post utterly unsubstantiated nonsense because it fits their worldview.

Wisconsin counties that hand recounted didn't substantially differ from counties that did machine recounts. The differences were incorrectly filled out ballots.

Additionally if you had been reading the analysis of 538, they were saying that the election was closer than anybody thought. The media didn't delve deeply enough into the stats and history.

Saying don't ask me how the votes were hacked is a cop out. You're making an exceptional claim. It's incumbent upon you to provide supporting evidence of more than aspersions based on incorrect history and a poor understanding of statistics.
