but, I am pretty sure that something went on in several swing states that swung the election to Trump. (Not just WI, MI and PA - but, NC, FL, VA and a few others. Yes, I know Clinton won VA, but it was closer than polling indicated.)

That said, I doubt anything will be able to be proven beyond a reasonable doubt and I doubt anything will come of it.

But, I also think voter suppression played an even bigger role in WI, PA, FL and NC.
