2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)Youre not just imagining it: the Hillary Clinton vs Donald Trump vote totals do look rigged [View all]
As a political journalist, I hate empty conspiracy theories. I like to go where the bulk of the evidence is pointing. So even though Im as shocked at Donald Trumps victory over Hillary Clinton as anyone else, I have been unwilling to preemptively accuse the vote totals of having been rigged or altered. Its taken me nine days of looking at the numbers and trends and patterns, but Ive come to the conclusion that for once, the conspiracy theorists appear to have been right: this election looks rigged

Conspiracy theory is a dismissive term, and unworthy of the gravity of the situation.
