There is no evidence of any hacked election results anywhere.  Lots of speculation - no evidence. There were however, several recounts in closely contested states. None of these recounts changed more than a minuscule number of ballets and had no effect on the results.  Most of this election hacking noise appears to be "fake news".

With everything going on in "cyber space" I would not be surprised. As in anything however you need concrete evidence/proof. Politics

I actually think we did the hacking, that is to say, one of the agencies in our own government such as the NSA. We have the same ability to hack and then cover our tracks so it is nearly impossible to tell or to leave false fingerprints. Not to get into conspiracy theories, but I am just saying that the lying and corruption of the Democrats, specifically of the Clintons, was not welcomed by "intelligence" insiders who decided to put some real facts out there for us to consider.

Besides that, it makes no sense for Russia to hack the emails or the DNC. Was it not the Democrats, specifically Hillary Clinton, who made it possible for the Russians to get control of 20% of the uranium mines in the USA? Why would they want to hack the Democrats? If anything, they would have hacked the Republicans so their friends in the DNC would keep on helping on these various deals that were made during the last four years.

It makes more sense if the we hacked ourselves or the Israelis did it.

Anyone have a good argument as to why the Russians would want to do the hacking?

No, there are only two ways to hack an election. They have the get the voting side or the tally side. There is no evidence of either, that I have seen or heard. I heard a report that John Podesta clicked on a link in an email that was a phishing attempt. That gave the sender access to his accounts. Remember that to date none of them have denied that what was in the original emails were untrue.

Very possibly, the North Koreans and our allies do it all the time. I would like to know just how they influenced the election. Even if they tried, it would be interesting to know what they did which had any proven negative effect on HC or positive effect onDT. They are saying now that HC won the popular vote by 3.5 million or so. How could hacking overcome that?

It doesn't matter whether Russia hacked the DNC servers and released emails or not. Trump didn't win the election, Clinton lost it. And it was hers to lose. There were many things her campaign could have done and didn't.

"Hacked the Elections...". Well, if you mean the Voting Count itself - No; it doesn't appear so and I've heard no reporting that this is a concern. If though you mean do I believe they hacked into comms of political parties, with intent to discredit and influence, then YES, I do.

If you Mean a Wildly Successful Internet Hack into the Software of our Electronic Voting Process, NO. If you Mean a Mildly Successful Internet Hack into the Software of our Electronic Voting Process Coupled with a Very Successful Disinformation Attack, Most Definitely but that is the Perspective from someone that was on the Front Line of the Information Warfare Game with Russia for 21 Years.

Yes, some hacking likely took place... what we don't know is if it was enough to change the election results.

Interesting, but let's take a look at an earlier commentary about the efficiency of the Election Assistance Commission - http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/08/29/AR [login to see] 928.html?hpid=opinionsbox1
