#1 "And believe me, they are not doing it to get me elected. They are doing it to influence the election for Donald Trump."

She can't run on her record as states-woman. She can't run on her record as a politician. She can's even run on her record as a person. What's left?

#5 Point AC. It could very well be that all this agitprop is not to change the vote. It's to make us believe - or, at least, entertain a reasonable doubt ("I know I wasn't influenced, but maybe other people were") - then they fake the results.

#6 Paper is no guarantee as a long history of the usual suspects will show (See - Battle of Athens). However, there is at least an implied accounting trail and is least susceptible to outside manipulation than on line digital. Besides, the only creatures who need 'instant' results are the media (it's showtime) to for their breathless coverage (and ad revenue generation).

#7 Rumor alone might get a number of Democrats to support cleaning up the system to prevent voter fraud (since despite report after report the Democrats seem unable to believe voter fraud exists).

#9 Because never in history has the most advanced communications equipment of the day was used to influence government policy?

Where would we be without experts.

By the way, what does CNN consider as a win? Or is this Hillary! wins she is stronger than Putin, Trump wins its those damn Russians?
