    • You seem to be implying something ominous about this...sounds like they are just talking about adding security measures.yuekit
    • Seems like no one whether Bernie or Trump supporter can believe their candidate is losing so of course it must be "rigged."yuekit
    • Maybe has to do with how Trump is just a businessman and television personality and the FBI is, well, actually relevant. I dunno, wild guess.monospaced
    • The implications of an election process take over is soviet like in nature. the central control alone. there is no guarantee with a digital process of rigging.yurimon
    • but yes this how media works. 5% trust rating.yurimon
    • If you read the article its not a takeover...they are considering declaring it critical infrastructure. But yes let's all fear monger over misunderstanding.yuekit
    • does yurimon type with his feet?face_melter
    • the central alone people, the central alone, there is no guarantee with a digital process of rigging... the central alone.monospaced
    • I thought Yurimon was supposed to finally leave QBN yesterday. WTF is he doing here, then?Continuity

    • The government is taking over the elections process!yuekit
    • There's been concerns with the susceptibility to hacking electronic voting systems for years, but dismissed.IRNlun6
    • FBI and Homeland Defense finally acknowledging those concerns confirms that yes, those machines can be hacked and thus the election can be rigged.IRNlun6
    • I think you are maybe buying too much into the Drudge and Alex Jones type alarmist headlines. Yes security is important but for an outside hacking groupreanimate
    • to rig the entire election in a country of 300 million people with hundreds of thousands of voting machines is a bit implausible.reanimate
    • they can also reference the exit polls, and if there's a big discrepancy, it would be obvious something had gone wrongmonospaced
