60,000 people voting different in three states is all it took.

Or, excuse me, Russian hackers adding 60,000 to DT's totals is all it took. Not enough, in the face of 125,000,000 votes to get anybody to give a serious second look.

However, when people started to take a closer look, anyway, the Russians sent in agent Stein to run an interference obfuscation mission and muddle everything up even more so that there would not be any serious audit of the votes.

Remember the vote totals tally sheet from one county in MI where the total number of ballots pulled on election day was less than the total votes cast when you added up all the totals for all the candidates? It was off by about 1/4 the total votes, such that for every 4 votes cast, a fifth was added. That should have been audited, hand count every ballot to find where those "extra" votes went. Dollars to donuts they were each and every one in the R column.

But, in this era of instant gratification, MTV-attention-span, and the ever-changing 24-hour news cycle, where there needs to be a new "BIGGEST STORY EVER&quot tm) every hour, if there's not a smoking gun *RIGHT NOW* nobody cares.

We're seeing that on the big Russia story too.

OK. I'm ranting. I didn't man to go off into a rant. Sorry.
