In a word; no.

I've been following the news on this and even Russia says to provide the proof, which their accusers have not been able to do.   

I wish the losers of this election would just get past their loss and focus on bringing us together rather than trying to delegitimize Trump's election.  :turkey:

Please remember, this is "debate and discuss"; not "hate speak." Love you guys.  :highfive:

I honestly don't know what to think anymore. All I can say is, nowadays, nothing would surprise me. But I would like to see actual proof.

Guess it doesn't make any difference now.  What is done is done and will not change the outcome

Unfortunately all major countries hack each other, including the usa.

I do not believe they got into our election, as each state has its own setup.

I do believe the democrats are pushing this to stop the republican president elect from taking office.

I personally don't think so, but I'm sure they would have loved to. However, this election result is the fault of the American people... :bad:

They did not "hack" the elections.  Someone, and probably was not Russia exposed the truth and the democrats cannot handle that.  The emails that were made public and all the other stuff that was made public about the witch is all the truth.  She is just mad because people found out what she was.  Most of us already knew what she is.

No, they didn't hack the election. They may have hacked some emails, that are really irrelevant to the election, except as far as exposing Hillary's corruption may have hurt her popularity. But they certainly didn't hack into the voting machines, or computers, or directly influence the election in any way.

It would not surprise or shock me, every other thing is getting hacked, Yahoo, the government, banks etc, so what's strange about this.

They were not irrelevant.  They exposed things that people needed to know.  She has done a lot of evil underhanded corrupt things and the people need to know who they are voting for.  Unfortunately most don't care.  I know a woman who votes democrat no matter what.  She does not care who the person running is.  She will vote democrat.  If Hitler ran for president of the democrat party I swear she would vote for him.

The "election" was not hacked; certain high profile Democratic campaign leaders' email accounts may have been hacked - exposing the lying, cheating, and unsavory opinions of Hillary and/or her top aides.  Release of that information may have influenced some undecided voters to vote Trump -- in much the same way the liberal national media slant may have influenced some undecided voters to vote Clinton.


The election itself was not hacked. But reporting it that way certainly makes it sound more dastardly than simply exposing wolves dressed up in sheep's clothing.

If hillary had been elected  you know not a word would have been said. I don't believe it. The democrats are just causing trouble . Obama is doing his darnedest to  cause some major problems for Trump. We gave oabma 8 years to prove himself and now  they should do the same for Trump Give him a chance.

They might have, China might have...half a dozen countries and organizations probably have. I am pretty sure that the Republicans and Democrats probably hacked each other. The Don probably had more money to hack and win because he wasn't spending it on erasing e-mails.  The United States government is surely not above hacking. Both candidates were intent on throwing mud after the election so it is kind of hard to blame democrats or republicans. Politicians do not stick to anything said when they were campaigning. It is laughable, but totally expected, to see all of the promises that disappear from the sites of those that have made it into office. Statements like "No new taxes" and "I did not have $*x with that woman" epitomize this point without showing favoritism to either party. I mean no offense to any one's political beliefs.

Exactly.  Just like 8 years ago when obama went in the Republicans did not protest or attack people who voted democrat.  They just went on with their lives.  The lazyocrats are just afraid they are going to loose their free ride because Trump is going to cut out a bunch of the welfare.  Or he says he will.  We will see.

Nobody hacked her.  All that was done is they exposed things she was trying to hide.  Things that needed to be brought to light.  She has done a lot of evil things.  Watch the dvd Hillary's America.  Where they expose tons of stuff they have done.  What about Benghazi?  She basically murdered those men herself.  She is unfit to be an American let alone be the president of this country.

I think things will get bad though because the democrats are a bunch of whiney sore losers who need a "safe space" where nobody can hurt their tender little feelings.  And they are going to cause all the problems they can for everyone that does not agree with them.

No, this forum is NOT Debate and Discuss. It's a regular "Off Topic." Debate and Discuss is above this forum on the front screen. I think people are starting to get confused because a lot of Debate and Discuss issues belong on this forum, too.

Hacking the election...no. Russia had no influence on mine or many of the people I know's vote. We decided we wanted him to be our President based on factual data. Now whether or not Russia has any hand in the actual leaks, that's a different story. Maybe they did, maybe they didn't. But honestly, even if the leaks never happened, I was still voting for Trump. So I don't believe the actual election results were tampered with.

I have heard from several sources that it would be almost impossible to actually hack the election results. The reason is similar to the reason why Battlestar Gallactica was able to survive the Cylon influence in the 2004 TV series (http://en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/Computers_in_the_Re-imagined_Series): the voting machines are not networked (or at least not networked into a wide area network, like the rest of the internet). Thus the only way to hack a voting machine would be to actually take apart the voting machine.

I agree with others that it is possible that Russia may have influenced the election had they hacked into the DNC and / or into an unsecured, private e-mail server housed by a high-ranking cabinet member with access to confidential e-mails and relayed that information to wikileaks. But then it still is up to the actual voters to choose whether to believe those reports and to choose which candidate to vote for.

No i do not think   our country was hacked by Russia, now maybe some  people who were running for office or had  their e-mails hacked but i do not think it was what influnced our country to vote for Hillary, The fact is she lost because people did not trust or nor did they want another Clinton in office.
