In reply to the discussion: 2016 election is officially illegitimate. TIME: Hackers Altered Voter Rolls [View all]Lee-Lee
(6,324 posts)#1- the voter rolls are public. Both parties download the latest versions weekly if not daily because it is a treasure trove of data. And when the final version is downloaded that is locked in before the election all one has to do is compare them.
If tens or hundreds of thousands of people who were registered to voter were suddenly purged, the DNC and state parties and the many private firms paid to watch thy data would notice. And since they retain that data it's auditable even to this day. Do you think the DNC isn't smart enough to go compare the data sets?
#2 if it somehow went unnoticed on the rolls and people were turned away who were properly registered in the volume it would take to change the outcome we would be hearing about it all over on Election Day and on until now. Remember what happened during the Democratic primary in NYC where some people were improperly removed? Everybody knew, it was a huge topic of discussion. That was just a few thousand bier in one city in one state, to affect the outcome of the election would require it be done orders of magnitude bigger in many states- and you think nobody noticed?
#3 we have Democratic poll watchers and poll worker at every election site. They are smart people who would notice a trend of people who should have been properly registered being turned away in big numbers and it only affecting democrats. We have numerous election watchdog groups who are all out watching closely for any signs of voter suppression and running hotlines to report problems like this. For this to have occurred they would all have to either be complicit in the crime and not acting when they saw it or totally incompetent.
If they have actually succeeded in altering voter rolls to any meaningful degree it would be very obvious that it had occurred.
