If Hillary wins, i've lost complete faith in the American political process and partially in America in general, I have dual citizenship i'll be fine.

Considering 4chan nerds literally had to hack voting machines to set up firewalls against Karl Rove's back doors it's pretty safe to say that the system is rigged in some pretty lovely ways. I hope that nasty bastard stays far, far away from the Trump campaign.

that sounds like some bullshit imo

That's like saying that hacking the US personnel database and swiping the security clearance records of every US government employee is extremely hard and basically impossible. These are machines created by private corporations and overseen by politicians with extreme vested interests in rigging the vote.

They were a bit sketchy, especially considering who owned many of them.

They (the voting machines) also have a history of having their source code dumped online for all to see. It's not impossible that there may have been some tampering, but I never believe people in Guy Fawkes masks without hard evidence.

No, Donald Trump isn't going to cause the U.S. economy to tank, says Peter Navarro, an economist and Trump supporter.

In a scathing report last week, research firm Moody's Analytics said Trump's plans would cause nearly 3.5 million job losses and sink the nation into a longer downturn than the Great Recession.
Navarro calls that analysis "garbage" and argues that Trump's plan is the best for the economy since Ronald Reagan's. He notes the lead author of the Moody's report (economist Mark Zandi) is a donor to Hillary Clinton's campaign.

"The [Moody's] findings are based on flawed assumptions and gross misrepresentations of the Trump policies," says Navarro, an economics professor at the University of California-Irvine and a policy adviser to the Trump campaign.
Trump's economic platform has three key elements: A large tax cut for all individuals and businesses, a tougher trade policy, and immigration reform.

there are so many people involved with any aspect of a modern democratic process, its extremely hard for me to believe there could be mass tampering without everyone finding out

now tampering a small number of votes to change a tiny margin, thats more likely. like bush in florida during 2000

Well that's exactly how it was done. Rove put his thumb on the scale in key battleground states like Ohio and Florida where the infrastructure was well within GOP control. It's not like you would write a blatant back door into the code either, just leave some benign looking gap where you can log in and use a script to manipulate the database backend.
