    Sorry, but once you control for standard measures, the difference is almost negliable when comparing paper and electronic voting.

    Halderman even stated he doesn't think the results were tainted by hacking.

    Jill Stein admitted in an interview with NPR that she doesn't think this will alter the results, nor is that her aim. In reading her comments, it appears this is A) to keep the process transparent and put her name and party in the headlines for the next election and B) to ultimately change the technology we actually use to vote.

    "In my view, this is not likely at all to change the outcome, and that's what the computer and voting security experts say as well. They are not expecting the outcome to change here. But it's the voters who benefit by standing up and saying we deserve a voting system that is secure in which we know our votes are being counted and our votes are being respected."

    When asked about whether she would have gone ahead with a recount if Clinton had won, she still says yes.

    "I would have because the security experts and researchers have told us for quite some time that we have a voting system which is essentially an invitation to tampering, to hacking and to human error."

    I don't recognize her from the meetings, but to be fair, there's been a lot of new people at them since Trump's campaign started, and I don't recognize everyone.

    Plus, more and more attendees have been wearing hoods.

    Some of the people I love the absolute most in the whole world are Trump supporters.

    Engaging in some sort of "Here's an example of a terrible person who supports the other candidate!" as a broad brush should be below the belt for both sides.

    As an undergrad I took a creative writing class taught by my alma mater's writer-in-residence. His one sorta-big novel (it got published by a pretty good university press) involved terribly racist people being terribly human. He told me that when he was writing it he was trying to capture the tension of knowing that you might dearly love someone who holds views that horrify you.

    This is the internet, buddy. Go peddle your well considered and reasonable opinions some place else.
