Our election system has become so complicated that we do not know what shell to look under when we have a problem.

Despite the evidence available early-on to the public, the Russian hack was manipulated into a narrative that condemned the DNC, Hillary, and those associated with the Clinton campaign.

Really? A Recount without verifying Milwaukee, Waukesha, Brown, or Racine counties? Those counties accounted for 870,000 votes in an election won by just 23,000!

Trump won Pennsylvania even though it isn’t a state with a history of Democrats voting for Republicans. Looking at the numbers, his victory seems to defy logic.

During the 2016 Presidential election, we were besieged with fake news, bots, data mining, and micro-targeted ads. We know it had an effect.

Cambridge Analytica’s Molly Schweickert—to the contrary of most media outlets and experts—claimed that their data showed a high probability of a Trump win. So, where was Cambridge Analytica getting getting its data?

In 2017, DHS warned at least 21 states that their voter registration databases were targeted a year prior by Russian government hackers.

So we are supposed to believe that Russia knew exactly how many ads and bots they needed to put in place in order to win three states by .2, .3, and .7%?

While nearly 500,000 voters were added to the rolls in the 7 months prior to the 2016 elections, fewer than 100,000 new addresses were added during the same time period.

Pennsylvania, who is watching your data? This can’t happen. But it did.
