But it's as though people are stuck in pre-election analysis mode. They think it must be something we did or didn't do, something Mrs. Clinton did or didn't do.

In fact, we don't know who won the election, because we haven't been sure who won any of them since 2002. Some states have moved to paper ballots hand counted, and we can be reasonably confident of their results. But the rest are mired in insecure computers which make tampering both easy and impossible to check. This is no voting system for a self-respecting democracy to tolerate.

I think I'm going to write a letter to all Democratic senators, and ask: "What the heck?"
