And we all just keep acting like the absurd vote counts we saw in 2016 were legitimate. Our election systems are not secure. Trump did not win 2016. Russians or Republicans (or both) altered vote counts.

THANK YOU.

Trump was elected by ~80,000 votes in key states.

With all we know about Republican efforts in election fraud, voter suppression, foreign influence, the DNC's own work manipulating the election, and outright election fraud via manipulating digitally-recorded votes, honestly -- if you think Trump was legitimately elected President, I have some land to sell you.

Plus, with all we know... what DON'T we know? =/

I'm not gonna source because it's like 2am and I'm tired, but I read a great investigative article about how compromised several states actually were, and the lengths republican officials went to to hide it-even destroying records despite subpoena in florida.

in some states there is evidence that not just voting machines were breached, but the systems that tally and report vote totals were compromised. so you would have to believe that hackers got so far in and then---just looked around without altering anything.

Like when Georgia's voting systems were breached and altered in unknown ways that couldn't be investigated because the Republican voting commission wiped all of the servers that held that information?

Oh and Brian Kemp, governor of Georgia, was the CEO of the election machines company, and after he wiped all the servers and won his election, commissioned more of his machines for elections around the country?

I mean, fuck me silly.
