2016 Postmortem

The fact of the matter is that the election probably was tampered with by the GOP as usual. Diebold just changed it's name. They still service those same flawed machines, particularly in the south.
John Conyers actually held a committee about what happened in Ohio in 2004 and there was significant evidence of the Republicans engaging in voter suppression, questionable voting machines, limiting access, and knocking people off the rolls.
But we never go after the Republicans for any of this because the Democratic party is desperately afraid of being labeled as conspiracy nuts or as sore losers.
Greg Palast did an excellent job both in reviewing the 2000 election and the 2016 election. Crosscheck was the new and improved version of Choicepoint. What is past is prologue in this case I suppose. The voter rolls were purged of people that had names that sounded vaguely black or ethnic. The mainstream press and the mainstream Democrats were utterly silent.
The media seems to only be fixated on Russia for some stupid reason when the real threat was there all along. Palast covered Crosscheck months ago, hell years ago he pointed out this kind of thing and we did nothing. The criminals of voter suppression have always been republicans and this time around is no exception.
