Which Media Outlet Doing Study Of Effect Of Russian Interference On Vote Totals And Trump's "Win"?

Crickets.....

That would be journalism.

Hard to know but they have methods to estimate.

2 million, 3 million, 10 million?

They surgically released stolen e-mails on Trump's bad news days.

It had a huge effect I would assume.

Let someone do an in depth study and give a number of how many were swayed by the Twitter and Facebook Hillary attacks and Wikileaks.

Anyone?

However, one can assume that something like a few 100 thousand votes were affected in the critical swing states.

Out of 126 Million votes cast... even a lowball estimate would be 1 percent or 600,000 votes flip from Trump to Hillary or at least would be subtracted from Trump... nationally.

Now you would have to prorate the swing states like PA and MI.
