1. Trump is handing it all over to Putin as we speak.

There is only ONE way to take back the government.

It requires 75% of the population who are not deplorable assholes, show up and vote and then and only then can we do something.

It will require a massive turnout to beat the vote flipping that russia will do and the voter suppression.

2. The Cons This Time?

Revenge for blowing the gift they were handed?

5. our government has shown no desire or effort to stop it..........

no legislation, no hearings of voting machine vulnerabilities, no efforts to work with twitter/facebook on ways to stop fake news.......

so, why shouldn't the russians try and hack our elections?

6. DEFCON 2017 takes place at month's end

a white/grey/black hat hacker convention. This year they have been asked to hack voting machines. Something to watch.

Judging from the headlines, it's a good time to figure out how secure our electronic voting machines are. What better way, we thought, to find out what's real and what's hype than getting a bunch of real voting machines into the hands of thousands of hackers? We happen to know where to find a lot of hackers on the last weekend in July, so we created the Voting Machine Hacking Village. We're bringing a bunch of voting machines and encouraging people to see what's possible. Let's test the physical security, try attacks at a distance, dump the BIOS, all of it. Knowing is half the battle, people. Let's do our part to add to the base of knowledge.

9. we need a real life, white hat election hack, voluntarily revealed afterwards, to prove to people,

beyond a shadow of a doubt, that the machines are not reliable.

Dumb asses.
