the idea that the GRU spent millions of $$$ to hack into the US elections computers but did so just to amuse themselves as a prank is itself the height of pretzel logic. It amazes me how many people are still in the denial phase.

It's called being 'Intentionally Obtuse'.

I read people taking up the “where is the proof the votes were actually changed” cliche & I wonder if they really are that naive or whether it is just too painful to admit that Trump sits in the White House as a Russian plant.

You actually don't seem to have that sound an understanding of US elections. Have you ever worked a polling station?

What is the easiest way? In the past you have said the easiest way is through hacking analytics (eg Hillary's). Is that what you're referring to here, or do you mean something else?

The easiest way to steal elections is what the GOP uses: voter suppression. Plus, it's virtually legal! And the VR Systems hack could have done that, as well as some of the social media stuff.

Hillary, however, was particularly vulnerable to tampering analytics, bc she was extraordinarily reliant on them. It seemed to be consistent with her actions, but I've been told what the Russians did do with her analytics couldn't have altered them.
