Not to sound like a conspiracy nut but this just reinforces the idea of a corrupt (if not idiotic) US voting/election system.

The fact that you have to state that after being given this whole bunch of good evidence is a big part of the problem.

Well the way the America is currently going, I am not sure any amount of good factual evidence will matter.

I think John Oliver described it best in his video a couple of days back. People seem to be motivated by feelings, not facts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNdkrtfZP8I

Sadly, what's even worse, is as I was reading this, I wondered if it might be an attempt to undermine the Democratic Party. The barrier for determining the origin of their funding and the organizational composition of the group is also high enough that I don't know how to figure out trustworthiness...
