Obama orders investigation into election related hacking

[ControlWarrior]

Just more butt hurt about Hillary losing, nothing will come of it.

Pretty much this. They couldn't embarrass him through recounts (he's actually picking up more votes in Wisconsin), so they are taking the investigation route. Keep on keeping on election deniers!

You actually don't?

If not, why does this seem to occur after every republican president leaves office? Happened in the crash of '87 at the end of the Regan era (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Monday_(1987), happened in the crash of '07 at the end of the Bush era. Even happened at the end of Bush Sr.'s presidency! (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_..._United_States)

NAFTA.

We used to bounce back, but it is impossible now.

Wrong. Obama should be investigating illegal voters because that would safe guard the democratic process.

There has been extensive review of this and there is no evidence of wide spread voter fraud, just more bull spread by Trump.

Since the voting machines aren't connected to the internet it would be kinda difficult to hack them and change results. Illegals voting is the real issue.

Some of the foremost expects is computer security have already said that the voting machines regardless of not being connected to the internet are quite susceptible to tampering.

I understand many Trump supporters don't believe experts in any field or of fact and evidence, but these things can't really be disputed.

Using voting computers (they are not mechanical machines, they are programmable and therefore can be manipulated) has been widely criticized by IT-Sec researchers since the idea first came up. There are so many possible scenarios for tampering, from changes in the software to more profound tricks like messing up the calibration of the touch screen by just enough to make some of the button presses register wrong.

Combine that with the fact that there is apparently a severe lack of regulation on a federal level in terms of the required technical specifications for voting computers, some of the models used this election don't even produce a paper trail which makes it almost impossible to do a proper recount.
