Bernie Sanders

(4,234 posts)and doing so for 1 in every 25 votes gives 8% flip, etc. As Steven Freeman said several years ago, It's "trivially easy" to change an election by maliciously programming the voting machines or just by altering the report of the results for the central tabulators. It's been happening for well over a decade now. Kerry lost the election in OH due to the machines though probably in a slightly different manner in 04.
The only way to put a stop to it now, as long as we've decided to use the machines (even though common sense indicates that it's undemocratic and highly dangerous), is to REQUIRE an AUDIT for every democratic election and if serious statistical anomalies are found to REQUIRE A COMPLETE RECOUNT OF THE PAPER (assuming there even is any paper to count).
I suspect that MO was tilted too and maybe IL.
The point is nobody can prove me wrong because it's impossible to know whether Hillary actually won or Sanders won, so it's really just a matter of opinion. I choose to believe that Sanders won in OH and maybe in MO and IL as well. NC might not be attributable to the machines as much as to the voter suppression.
