You know that story is bullshit right? More right wing lies to explain why they failed?

France doesn't mail a ballot to people. They mail information for each candidate and a mock up of the ballot. Actual ballots are obtained at polling places and they have scores and scores of ballots should someone have an issue that requires a replacement.

Who am I kidding. Of course you don't know that. And the information to the contrary won't change your feelings either.

Yep

I find it sad that any time a claim is made by certain posters, the claim has to be checked because it's almost certainly false. It took me 1 minute with Google to find the bullshit here.

When you effectively have another country trying to cheat on your behalf, you don't need to cheat yourself! (Although the Republicans have been rigging elections through gerrymandering and racially biased voter ID laws, so even that is debatable.)

There are no racially biased voter ID laws, though thanks for going on record as stating that minorities are too stupid to get photo IDs.

Russia's impact on votes this election was at the other end, at the propaganda end. Trumpsters should thank the Russians for helping the Donald get elected, not denying that it happened.

I mean, it's perfectly OK to believe what Russian propagandists tell you, isn't it?

It's perfectly okay to read DNC emails exposing what a completely corrupt hack Clinton is, yes.

Pure racism right there. Quoted before he edits it.
Yep. He is just another racist POS Altroll... the new StormFront & News... I wonder when low information racists will stop dragging out that old canard they invented and continually use when they try to disenfranchise even more black voters than they already have...

Ouch, another admission that blacks are too stupid to get photo IDs.

Your racism is leaking through.

TrumpsChump: when you attribute your own attributes and beliefs to "the left", everyone knows you're projecting, yet again.

Keep on keepin' on, TrumpsChump.

"The left" are the ones who proudly and loudly exclaim, in public and in court, that minorities are too stupid to get photo IDs. Better luck next time.

Says a TrumpsChump, who has 3 times in the past hour stated that "minorities are too stupid to get photo IDs".

Keep on keepin' on, TrumpsChump.

I don't believe it is. The independent counsel is supposed to prosecute people. The Congress is supposed to do oversight and figure out how to pass laws to fix the issues they find. Theoretically, the Independent Counsel can end it's investigation and not offer a report to the country.

Not at all. Mueller's job is to investigate Russian efforts to interfere in the 2016 election & wherever that may lead.

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive...nt-Robert-Mueller-Special-Counsel-Russia.html

If Congress wants to investigate further based on the evidence they provide the path is obviously open. Their efforts are a sideshow atm. Well, more of a horror show wrt Nunez.

Like I said, Congressional Repubs want to avoid situations where they have to defend the Admin.

Shee-it, Sherlock- Senatorial Dems just ripped Sessions a new asshole today. He asserted the right not to answer so as to preserve the right of executive privilege down the road... which he wasn't asserting today, obviously... Go figure, right?

It's all highly amusing yet going nowhere, I'm sure. A Repub Congress won't do shit about it. Mueller's work is what counts. Jeff can't play it that way under FBI questioning.

No, they mention that the particular IDs are chosen to be the ones that minorities are most likely to not have in disproportionate numbers and that they're the ones that minorities frequently can't take time off work and go halfway across the city to a DMV in the middle of the white flight suburbs to get.

If you've ever worked a job that isn't for privileged babies playing on easy, you'd realize that your schedule is a fickle mistress and that if you want to really make ends meet you might just have to work two jobs, which means you've got no hope in hell of arranging to get a ride just to sit in an office all day to get a prerequisite to go sit in a line that's longer than your work gives you so you can make a minute contribution to the odds of your government screwing you less.

It's a series of conscious decisions to make it just harder enough that people don't bother, and people like you are willingly complicit in making excuses for it by denying the truth of it.

Everything he posts is easily discredited with, you know, facts.

He isn't one to leave his safe space. That bubble is too delicate to risk allowing actual information to pierce it.

Please. He's a troll, a propaganda mouthpiece & likely a member of a loosely organized alt-right group. He's post-truth entirely, trying to create an alternate reality.

Just shows how badly some people are brain-washed and they think they're living in the real world.

Still pushing the conspiracy theories based on nothing, based on sources which do not say what you wish they to say.
Hackers have everything already.

This is standard cyber intelligence activity long before the democrats started seeing reds under the bed, its what we do to other countries.
Funny how china isn't implicated in the suspicions.

Btw an unknown source told me that Hillary has long been a compromised russian plant.

There is no way to verify any of this, but its not necessary these days.



I mean seriously from your bloomberg article, when you post this on a tech forum and believe it.

Go help the feds some ok? Do you understand what an Internet Protocol address is? This is seriously high level hacking and surveillance.

And worry about your own joke of a country, where every civil liberty is dying.

I'm taking stat damage to INT, WIS, CON, and SAN here. Are we sure these people aren't actually Cthulhoid abominations in human suits spreading memetic hazards?
