Why are people so willing to buy into a conspiracy? I noticed last week people were passing around stories from a couple people in Potter County saying their votes were "changed".  I called b.s. then and it's proven to be b.s. now.

So why didn't everyone pass around the story that the voting machines have been checked out and are fine?  Why are people more inclined to believe some giant nutty conspiracy and not the truth?  The machines are fine and IF there were errors, they were HUMAN errors.

Trump started spreading this "it's fixed" nonsense the minute he started polling down and now people are buying into it.  USE YOUR DAMN HEAD, if it was "fixed" probably the absolutely, positively least effective way to do is is through a couple voting machines.  It's just ignorant to think otherwise.

If someone was going to go through the trouble of electronically changing your vote, why the hell would they show they changed your vote on the display?  Why wouldn't they just change it and let you not know it was changed?  Or why wouldn't they just throw out those results and put in the ones they want?

In 2016 over 129 million people voted  in the election. I don't know how smart you are, but don't you think that changing votes one at a time would be the single stupidest thing ever attempted?

Let's learn a little something here. There is something called "Occams Razor". It basically states that the simplest of explanations is usually the correct one. Well, Occam's Razor tells us that if these people were truthful, screwed up the ballot all by themselves.
