Has Anyone Thanked Putin For Counting Our Votes For Us In 2016?

Making sure all those online tabulators on computers running Windows Server 2000 were 100% correct?

1. No evidence of vote tampering...

Influencing how people chose to vote is another matter...

[brush]

2. I think the OP is on to the real issue...vote counting, not individual vote changing.

[brooklynite]

3. Same thing...no actual evidence

Nor does any candidate who potentially lost from mis-counting claim it happened.

4. Ahhh...the repug talking point...no evidence.

But if you're gonna steal an election, the most logical way is to do the counting.

What's that old Russian saying: "It's not who votes, it's who counts the votes."

5. +1

[mythology]

6. Actual evidence says there were no votes changed

In brief, we find no evidence that the voting technology favored one candidate more than the other.

Nor could we find any statistical differences correlated with accessibility technologies or with different voting technology vendors.

The tests uncovered nothing suspicious. That supports a conclusion that voting machines themselves were not hacked.

There's also the fact that the national polls were very accurate, substantially more accurate than in 2012 for example.

So no it's not a Republican talking point. It's the truth whether you want to believe it or not. But given all you have is name calling, you likely aren't open to facts inconvenient to your beliefs.

7. You can believe it. I don't have to. The Russians hacked into voting systems...

just to do window shopping.

Gotcha, the election wasn't stolen.
