47. The main hackers of the 2016 election were most likely the GOP

There was the interstate GOP "Cross-Check" system described in detail by Greg Palast on his site
and in numerous articles and videos.

http://www.gregpalast.com/election-stolen-heres/

Add-in literally 1000s of polling places closed-down in a couple dozen GOP-run states in areas of likely strong Democratic leanings,
along with the ID card restrictions imposed in Texas and numerous other GOP states.

Then, as the final Coup de grâce, (and this is the real hack) there was the "red-shift" vs the exit-polls
(which was so prominent back in 2004), especially strong in the swing states, where it appeared with
an almost surgical precision
to turn those states around, in spite of large popular vote advantages for HC,
and in spite of the fact that there was no equivalent 'blue-shift"
in ANY state, in ANY race.

What bothers me a lot is that, in spite of loud protestations about possible Russian hacking of the election,
which is scary and bad,
Democrats don't seem very interested in this story, where domestic hackers may have been key
in flipping the election.

Is election fraud OK if it's done by Americans?

Mainstream Democrats hardly even address this issue.
Dear God,
Why is that?
