Not to be directed at Kossacks, I haven’t seen much of that here but the real facts:
Hillary won the frucking election in terms of popular vote but . .
The frucking slave state Electoral College that also frucking selected frucking George W. Bush and gave us the frucking invasion and occupation of Iraq.
Next, if we had the courage and wherewithal to get rid of the Electoral College, which should be our first priority, the next target is:
Frucking Interstate Crosscheck and frucking Kris Kobach:
Controversial anti-voter fraud program risks disenfranchising voters through racial bias, report finds
Back in 2005, Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach — who as chair of his state's Republican Party championed an illegal voter suppression technique called "caging" — launched a program called Interstate Crosscheck to compare voter registration data across states and ferret out evidence of double voting.
The program has since expanded to 30 states, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures(NCSL), but it's been controversial from the start. For one thing, it's resulted in very few actual cases of fraud being referred for prosecution, as alleged cases of double voting in multiple states turned out to be clerical and other errors. One tally found that while the program has flagged 7.2 million possible double registrants, no more than four have actually been charged with deliberate double registration or double voting.

OK, if you take care of the Electoral College and Interstate Crosscheck, what’s next:
The Frucking Republican Bag of Election Fraud Tricks:
Frucking abusive voter ID laws:
The moral outrage and national embarrassment over Pennsylvania’s strictest-in-the-nation voter identification law are well-deserved.
But what’s most disturbing about this law is the fact that it’s a blatant abuse of power by the controlling party in Harrisburg – the Republicans – for purely partisan political gain.
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court is scheduled to hear arguments Thursday (Sept. 13) on whether to stop the voter ID law from taking effect this fall. While the justices should certainly keep in mind the hundreds of thousands of Pennsylvanians likely to be disenfranchised by this law, they should also be mindful of their role as a constitutional check against abuses of power by the legislature and the governor.

Not mention frucking making it frucking difficult to even register to vote:
An Alabama congresswoman has formally asked the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate the state’s shuttering of driver’s license offices in several heavily black counties, warning that the closures throw up another obstacle to voting. The call for a federal probe comes as opposition to the state’s decision, announced last Wednesday, continues to mount.
“These closures will potentially disenfranchise Alabama’s poor, elderly, disabled, and black communities,” wrote Rep. Terri Sewell in a letter sent Monday to Attorney General Loretta Lynch. “To restrict the ability of any citizen to vote is an assault on the rights of all Americans to equally participate in the electoral process.

Frucking fraudulent moving of polling places:
Last year, North Carolina's Board of Elections changed the locations of many of its hundreds of Early Voting sites across the state. No one seems to have noticed that those changes added more than a third of a million miles to the distance between black voters' homes and their polling places, while affecting voters' aggregate distance-to-poll hardly at all.

Frucking fraudulent closing of polling places:
Frucking Alabama frucking compounds its frucking sins by frucking closing polling places:
Four years after Daphne elected its first ever black mayor, the fast-growing bayside city in south Alabama is facing scrutiny over the closure of polling places in neighborhoods with a large population of black voters.
Election law watchdogs are pushing the U.S. Department of Justice to open an investigation into a March 21 decision by the City Council to eliminate all but two locations where residents can vote during the Aug. 23 city elections.
Among the groups calling for action are the Voting Rights Institute and the Southern Coalition for Social Justice. The NAACP's Legal Defense and Education Fund is also singling out Daphne's move to close polling places five months before the elections for mayor and city council.

Now, if all of the above is taken care of there’s another thing ot two …
Election verification through the use of paper ballots — a solid record of votes in case of a recount — as well as hand counting of paper ballots. Electronic voting can be jimmied. Geeze, America, wake up! Hacking is a frucking industry here and in Russia.
As hackers started making money, they become sophisticated and very well organized that increased their profits while minimizing the risk. Hackers also have become more or less cooperate in their behavior while creating a business of hacking. Their business looks a lot like other great businesses in the market. They compete on quality, reputation, and price. Moreover, they have software development lifecycle and offering software as a service (SaaS) too. Not just resemblance in many ways, but also their business practice made them capable enough to be considered as a competitor to well-known organizations like HP, Dell, Microsoft, and others.
