(3,335 posts)be determined null and void. The fact that the Fore Fathers did not anticipate a presidential candidate colluding with a foreign country to steal an election with the use of cyber attacks doesn't mean the status quo should be allowed to stand. If they Repugs had any integrity, they would be the one trying to set the record straight. Instead they have dragged their feet and make the claim that there is no proof that the Russians didn't tamper with the vote count when we know how vulnerable our voting systems were. The reason we don't know whether they did or not is because no one has done an official comprehensive review of state voting tabulations across the country. How likely is it that the Kremlin went through all the trouble to interfere with this election, and didn't assure the result they were after, and just crossed their fingers and hoped and their planning and efforts worked.
If it was the other way around, the Repugs would not be sitting here waiting for the next election 4 years away. Knowing them, they would have utilized their 2nd Amendment remedies already. It's only us as Democrats who are trying to give the system time to work with Meuller and at the current pace and the constant new shit we learn everyday about collusion, another presidential campaign could have come and gone before we know anything definitively. In the meantime, the Repugs could have installed 3 new Supreme Court Justices with lifetime appointments, meaning cheating does pay, and thus encouraging it and ensuring that history repeats itself.
