well I think we can let a few slide, like
AL, MI, MA, IL, CA, OK, TX, ND, SD, LA, TN, KY, NY, UT, WY, etc.
you know, the ones that are glaringly obviously leaning towards one candidate over another.
I had posted earlier that one could begin an "investigation" with statistical sampling, and then move toward recount of the total population in those states. But you are definitely correct there.
CA went 62% for Clinton, and the diffuse nature of voting under each county government pretty much assures no "conspiracy" -- unless voting machines were hacked.
But it doesn't matter so much whether Clinton won or lost. What matters is the criminal nature of a fraud, especially if perpetrated primarily by one side.
It's one thing for a couple people to attempt voting twice, or any other such nonsense determined to be so insignificant that it can't justify voter suppression laws. It's another thing if precincts were hacked in their entirety.
You could try to be objective in the question as to whether the GOP or the Dems are more deceitful. I've seen enough over the last decade and more. Even at the individual level, there is a lapse of ethical thinking. My cousin, for instance.
Since Goldwater, he's always taken the Right position, based on myths in his brain. He thinks the Repubs will "help his business." Nothing at a political and national level helped his business, and the only one who hurt it was himself.
He called me in the middle of the Dem primary debate -- hoping to disrupt my attention with his questions about Windows 10. (Praise the Lord for Media Center and DVR). He attempted to argue that "we need somebody like Trump who is deceitful, because it keeps the rest of the world guessing." My cousin? I was born on planet earth! What planet is he from?!
that attitude confirms a contempt for the electorate. They need to be led around like sheep. It's all just a formality. The voters don't need any sound basis for good decision-making.
So -- no -- it isn't something that occurs on both sides to the same degree. I once suggested half-seriously to members of a local Dem PAC that we needed to engage in counter-propaganda -- perhaps even with a deceitful tilt. They all howled me down, before I could explain that I was only "half-serious" -- that it was for levity. My cousin certainly wasn't among them.
In a nutshell, they all said "We don't do that sort of thing!"
And if I even had the thought of it, it was because I lost my virginity and innocence as explained in a long post in Sonniku's thread about conservatives being misled.
