Dept of Justice Investigation of Vote Problems in WI, PA, Michigan

I know this is a return to the denial and bargaining phase of grief, but a bunch of sites are picking up this story now, and whether or not it is a hoax, making the phone call is worth a shot. The count is so close in these states, and they haven't finished Michigan's count yet. Right now at 11pm ET the 202 number is busy, but you can get right

last night, Snopes was calling this basically a 'ummmmm, maybe not".......but this morning, it is all over the local news. However, (in my local news) with NO details, which I find interesting. It's like they read a headline ("Hillary should challenge election results, says computer scientists") and that's it. Wait, they just provided some details, saying they thought results in some counties that used electronic voting might have been hacked. And then "they found no evidence of hacking"

Ummmmmm.

The Guardian is reporting on it now and as usual they do the best work--it is not a hoax. This is important--this is our world:

I read that if you hit 5 instead of 4 and speak to a live operator, they will tally your call. Haven't had a chance to call yet, but I will let you know if that's the case.

ETA: also, I don't consider it denial. We know that Bush stole the election from Gore in 2000. We know that Russia was involved in hacking during this election. All signs point to it being true.

OK, thanks! Do let me know.

Yeah--the Guardian and CNN hadn't picked up the story yet when I posted last night, so I was being cautious about the story.

Trump is doing all he can to keep the press and the whole world watching his spinning ball so we'll time out on the deadlines when investigating this can make a difference--that's Bannon's strategy. And I think Clinton and Obama are afraid that pursuing this could lead to rioting in the streets from both sides and undo peaceful transition, and whether it's worth that risk. That's why Gore didn't do more. I DO think it's worth that risk vs 4 or more years of Trump and the Republicans that stand with him and what they will do to the world. Please Hillary, don't quit on us!
