Why Some U.S. Ex-Spies Don't Buy the Russia Story
Even the language used in this article is misleading: “hacked the election”.  The actual allegations are that Russia was behind the hacks of the DNC servers.  That is not election hacking!  Hacking the election sounds like the Russians found some vulnerability with voting machines.  There is no evidence of this.<p>In either case, Trump won the election because he won more electoral votes than Hillary.  And he did this by winning more popular votes in key states.  It’s that simple.  The Democrats had an unappealing candidate who ran a weak campaign in key states.  And lost.<p>What the DNC leaks do show, however, is that the Democrats ran a fraudulent primary election where they colluded with the Clinton campaign and suppressed any opposition from the left.  This resulted in an unpopular candidate in the general election, and a public even more untrusting of the Clintons and the process.  The Democrats needs to look in the mirror instead of playing to fears of Russian boogeyman.
