Why did Hillary Clinton lose the 2016 US election?
Hillary Clinton didn’t lose the election in 2016.I’m not talking about Electoral College vs popular vote.I’m not talking about Russian meddling, which certainly happened, assuming everyone except Donald Trump and Vlad Putin saying otherwise can be trusted.Had all qualified votes cast in the election been counted, Hillary Clinton would be in the White House.All the handwringing on the part of the Democratic party about how they screwed up and lost the White House is for naught. The Democrat candidate won the election. Had over 1 million qualified votes that were thrown out been counted, both the popular and Electoral College vote would have gone to her.All the Democrats need to do is re-establish the integrity of the voting process. Not an easy task, to be sure, since the GOP knows it won’t win a fair election. But programs like Crosscheck virtually assure that Democrats have to win by a landslide to overcome the suppressed minority votes that are disallowed into the final count.Palast predicted Trump’s win via these voter suppression programs months before it happened. Last I knew there were 28 states where Crosscheck purges minority voters from the rolls based on bogus name matches with voters in neighboring states. I’m glad to know that my home state of Indiana is the first to face a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of this blatantly racist scheme.Hillary won the election, it’s just that the votes showing it weren’t all counted. And so we have Trump, who appointed as Chairman of the Voter Fraud Commission none other than the architect of the Crosscheck program.There is, indeed, electoral fraud happening. Republicans and Democrats both should be outraged that this central component of what makes America great - the right to vote for our elected officials - is no longer a legitimate process.Thus, Hillary didn’t lose the election. Hillary “lost” the election.
