A hostile nation targeted our elections in 2016. We know that much. In February, the NY Times writes, "The Justice Department charged 13 Russians and three companies on Friday in a sprawling indictment that unveiled a sophisticated network designed to subvert the 2016 election" [1] OK, so Russia had this expensive, sophisticated operation to influence the election. It wasn't a half-assed effort. So why wouldn't this operation include attacking voting machines? Especially if the machines are vulnerable and virtually unprotected?

>A hostile nation targeted our elections in 2016. We know that much. Are you talking about some entity releasing damaging emails and details from Clinton's campaign and the DNC that made Clinton look bad? Was the content of those messages not more important than how they were released? How does showing Clinton campaigns dirt related to voting machine hacking?

> A hostile nation targeted our elections in 2016. We know that much. I hope there can be some sort of a partial agreement that Noam Chomsky isn't a partisan hack, let's see what he has to say on the matter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vVXlLgifxQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vVXlLgifxQ I encourage everyone to watch the whole video, as there is some interesting (in that is it rather contradictory to the current mainstream narrative) footage of various Democrat opinions on Russia, and the degree to which they should be considered a threat to America. I feel fairly confident this footage predates "Deep Fakes" technology, if anyone suspects it isn't legit please let me know.

  Questions for the downvoters: what is your justification? Do you believe the content of this video is untrue? Do you disagree with the words I've written? Is it something else?

  I appreciate your attempt to have a rational, polite discussion about this issue. Unfortunately, your desire to apply some critical thinking, places you in a minority. This is confirmed every time I see a post such as yours, and the inevitable downvoting.

    It took time (in hours, and years) to get to this point, it will take time to get back. The human psyche has never been subject to this level of propaganda before, in volume and sophistication, you can hardly blame people. I'm patient, and stubborn.
