I’m surprised that we didn’t get see incidents where some individual hacked the results for a machine or the precinct just to prove a point. Something like a chunk of suspicious votes going to some third party.

\<tinfoil hat\> And how do we know that the **Democrats** didn’t hack the election? Maybe all of the fears of potential Republican tampering were a plot by the left-wing successor of Karl Rove… \</tinfoil hat\>

The OP says so much about the person asking the question. Paraphrased, it reads like this:

“My guys won, so there was no hacking of the voting machines. Of course if the other guys had won, it’s a foregone conclusion that the machines were hacked.”

How many of these: :rolleyes: can I insert here?
