We all KNOW that the Russian hackers meddled with down-ballot vote totals, too. Right?

Some of the very republicans re-elected last fall seem so dis-interested in the RUSSIAN election-hacking angle of these investigations - many of them want to concentrate on just the LEAKS! I wonder WHY?

And also, as another post states, these republican phuckers knew the fix was in - and that is why they sat on the Merrick Garland nomination!

Republicans have been doing the same for years. We must not lose sight of that. It we blame it all on the Russians and don't deal with R tactics such as Interstate Crosscheck and voting machine/tabulation issues, we will continue to lose elections.
