NSA Report Hints Russia May Have Hacked Voting System

Thanks for posting.

doubted this

I thought on election night that something nefarious had happened. I will believe that til my dying day.

I think it was the Detroit Free Press had predicted Hillary would win Michigan.they had sampled 80% of the precincts and said she would win by 4 points.how could they have gotten it so wrong?

Of course, there were also actual problems with Detroit's physical voting machines - the state wouldn't provide proper funding.

Arrest that traitorous motherfucker right now! Dolt45 has got to go!

Trump wins just barely enough in all teh F'n swing states to win EC. AND NO backup paper ballots for verification!!?? Seems odd that pre election polls and exit polls were accurate before Deibold type paperless verification ballots came along.

My opinion wasn't sour grapes. It was based on having been alive long enough to witness a number of Presidential elections, and as a political junkie who was reading everything, there were almost no indications he would, from reliable sources. It was possible. But not likely. I also knew it wouldn't take that much to rig it. Just a little hacking in key counties in certain states.

I also got a feeling from something Trump said on the campaign stage in Pennsylvania. I remember thinking at the time, "That sounds as if Pennsylvania is fixed, because there is no data at all to indicate he'll win PA." He ended his speech by saying that if he didn't win Pennsylvania, then "THE ELECTION IS RIGGED!" Remember when he started saying that shortly before the election? I thought at the time that he was saying that so that the Democrats would be viewed suspiciously if they said it, if the election were in fact rigged for Trump. (That's also a known Russian trick...to rig an election, but claim throughout that the OTHER side is going to rig the election.)

But we in the country weren't allowed to have the conversation and discuss it. That was all shut down.

It's possible he legitimately won. But I didn't think likely. This also explains his obsession over trying to prove "the people" overwhelmingly voted for him, which they didn't.

Asking for a friend.

It never made any sense that all the swing states suddenly snd unexpectedly when for Trump.

Made no sense whatsoever.

Fake news alone doesn't get the job done....

Not bill Fucking Maher

I fucking knew it! This poor woman that leaked this info, I hope she's going to be ok. She's a PATRIOT not a traitor.

and the fact that she did it in the most haphazard and clumsy manner possible, and in doing so she announced to the world (specifically Russia) exactly how much is known about Russian involvement, how we came about that information, and how far the investigation has advanced...

Winner has arguably hurt us more than she's helped...

It was a coup.

so absent the leak, this was classified? Being hushed up?

...of course, about the Trump-Russia axis; that's been obvious to idiots from the start. But about the vote-rigging, and the idea that the election was literally stolen. One has an obvious reluctance to believe this; we like to think we're a democracy. But the circumstantial evidence has been piling up, and the arguments of the scoffers somehow haven't rung true, at least for me. I think now that there's been a little of this going on for a long time, and 2016 was the coup de grace...

when you consider that this would NOT have taken a huge, thousand person, hack every machine, everybody's in it, scheme, but something more 'surgical', combined with what they have already been caught doing, it is FOOLISH, no, it's FUCKING STUPID to think they would have stopped with voting equipment.

*Nope*

This shit happened down ballot too, and truth *will* out.

conclusion. That includes M Nance and some guy named Josh I think.

Sadly, looks like another dead end.

That will be swept underthe rug "for the good of the country".

the election does not have to be "certified" until Dec 20.

You mean to tell me that this "country" can't hand count ballots and use a paper and pen.

I forget voting should be a for profit operation

or another one recently revealed? The last 6 months of questions and answers in white house.govobama archives has those questions about a state/local hacking attempt during early primary and answers.

The 90,000 BLANK ballots reported in Detroit always perplexed me. I don't understand why 90k ballots would be carefully filled out and only the president choice left blank.

Here's what the article says: "While there’s no indication in the report that voting machines or the result of the election was tampered with, it is the first report of its type that raises serious questions that Russian hackers attempted to breach the voting system."

OF COURSE THERE'S NO INDICATION!?!? How can there be any indication if there is no verification?

Actually there's been indication of the tilting of the vote for a decade and a half now. But if there is no official verification process, then the only way to check the results is to statistically compare the exit poll results to the presumed results shown by the computer read-outs and when that is done in almost every case it is tilted right.

Remember 2004, when heads exploded over a 1.5% mean national red shift. Crickets in 2016 with a 4.7% red shift.

What indications? Move along, nothing out of the ordinary here.
