don't challenge these results. I was livid that Kamala headed off to Hawaii without saying a word. I will never believe that Trump won every swing state, especially with the way the votes shifted so quickly in each one. And even with the Russian interference, Hillary would've won with Bernie as VP.

The one thing we need above all is secure elections. I don't believe we'll have that until Citizens United is overruled (to take out the PAC money), and the machines are fortified. IDK the best way, I'm not a computer expert either. Perhaps we go back to handwritten votes that are videotaped when counted. There has to be a way to secure things, because Republicans cheat whenever they can get away with it.
