that the Russians hacked this election? Not the emails - we know they did that. But actually hacking the election? Changing votes? Where is there any evidence of that?

I would never call anyone a conspiracy nutjob, but all I've seen is people pointing to "anomalies" that are only anomalies to them because they simply can't believe that so many Obama voters would have switched and voted for Trump, or that so many new voters would come out for Trump.

Funny how we never question the fact that we're able to engage new voters, but some of believe that the Republicans can't.
