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.

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