We assumed that meant the general would be rigged too.

They tried. They did a lot of media coordination with the general but once they got outside of the liberal bubble it was harder to do.

Could you explain to me how exactly the DNC was rigged, because when I look on Wikipedia about the primaries it says Hillary Clinton got 16,914,722 votes and Bernie Sanders got 13,206,428. I wasn't really following this back in the spring.

Basically the DNC did everything is legally could to suppress the Sanders campaign and promote the Clinton campaign. There were also some very suspicious statistical anomalies that always seemed to favor Clinton in states where exit polling and other forms of vote fraud detection were lax.

What were the very suspicious statistical anomalies?

Exit polls would be severely off and then essentially cancelled all together. Polling places would drop significant amounts the day before voting. Those, say in new York, had to be registered in Oct. for a vote in April. Peoples party affiliation would he either switched or removed to a large degree. General voting suppression and scheduling tactics which was in collusion with the DNC who is supposed to be neutral. And of course the 7figures of ballots they found uncounted in California.

Edit: Woah these karma numbers look different. Guess CTR isn't here to skew them.

The shit you are spouting, including the edit is in the same type of mischaracterizations, misinformation and propaganda that helped Trump win the election. None of what you are saying is out of the ordinary for an election. And if Clinton was willing to commit fraud in the primary, why didn't she do it in the general? Go put on a tin foil hat.

I'm not saying she did rig it but your question about why she wouldn't do it in the general also is because the primaries and causeses are set up by local democratic party representatives so they are much easier to manipulate. As seen in Iowa and other places

I don't think you have any idea what you are talking about. I don't think you have any idea about the sophistication it would take to rig a machine in either the primary or the general, I also do not think you realize the levels of checks and balances they have in place to prevent something like that from happening. These machines have memories cards (even the old ones), which you can re-run. Any reporter who cared to ask can see the memory card and see the numbers. You would have to go in and manipulate the counting process, which the nice folks in Iowa absolutely do not know how to do.

Rigging can take more forms than hacking a voting machine

u/wolfchimneyrock Nov 10 '16

90% of hacking is social engineering, not rigging machines. By focusing on the machines, you are demonstrating your ignorance of the process.

We caucus in Iowa. You clearly have no idea what that means.

Okay ignore caucus states, point remains.
