Ask HN: Was the U.S. election hacked?
I haven't seen any discussion on this at all.
- alansmitheebk 10y agoI am wondering the same thing. Either "all the polls were wrong" or the election was hacked. Polling has been conducted for decades. It seems highly unlikely that all of the institutions involved suddenly forgot how to do it properly this year.
- inimino 10y agoDid you do any research at all on this? The polls were within a few points of the popular vote, and state polls were well within typical polling errors consistent with ... the entire history of polling.
- inimino 10y agoNo.
- alansmitheebk 10y agoThat was a really thoughtful answer. It had almost as much depth as the thought process of the average American voter.
- inimino 10y agoOP wonders if the most heavily scrutinized democratic election in the world was overthrown, based solely on the fact that nobody has suggested it was. What do you think?
- smt88 10y agoNothing unexpected enough happened that people suggested this. The results weren't far from polls.
- emocin 10y agoNo.
