This is an amazing clip, you can see the certainty on that Trump support's face. And their source of information is Facebook.

Here is how voting works folks, for those that don't know.
You have to be registered in order to vote, and in order to register you must be a citizen.

The Left still yammers on about "Russian hackers", without a shred of evidence.  Furthermore, the media treats it seriously, when they write an article about Jill Stein blustering about Russians, they don't preface it with "debunked claims" or "unfounded", while they fell all over themselves to do that after Trump's recent tweet about illegal immigrants voting.

You tell me what's more plausible: illegal aliens having voted in November's presidential election, or Russians in Moscow hacking non-Internet-connected voting machines to make Donald Trump win Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania.

Well that's weird. I mean the FBI in collaboration with Interpol arrested a Russian hacker in Prague just two days before the US government accused the Russian government of stealing and disclosing emails. Why is the the Russian Embassy demanding for the man to be released? For national security reasons, I think it makes sense not disclose those information yet.

But besides that, whether the news about the election hacking is fake or not, it was a success by weakening Americans trust in democracy. It is the same thing with Trump's suggestion that "millions" of people voted illegally, with no evidence. All this news whether it is fake or not, benefited only Russia.
