Alex Halderman: we will never know if the Wisconsin vote was hacked unless we check now

As with your claim about the Time magazine op-ed, I must call BS. In this comment you cited the Brennan Center report (which was specifically about the bogus phenomenon of widespread voter fraud, e.g. homeless people or illegal aliens impersonating voters). You further said you expected them to “arrive at different conclusions soon,” based on other, more general and more reality-based instances and scenarios of electoral tampering being discussed (because you offered absolutely zero evidence to back up your contention that the Brennan Center would change its mind on the specific issue of voter fraud). You thus conflated the specific with the general. I wasn’t the only one to notice, either.

Further on the subject of evidence:

[quote=“Max_Blancke, post:59, topic:90007, full:true”]
If it is hypocritical for republicans to allege voting machine fraud right up until they won, then dismiss the idea as ridiculous, it is also hypocritical for democrats to take the opposite view.[/quote]

There’s no hypocrisy. As @Phrenological pointed out, the conservative allegations about voting machine fraud had absolutely zero basis in any hard fact about the evil puppetmaster Soros or in statistical analysis or really anything. Halderman’s allegation (I’m not sure if he’s a Dem or not) was based in a combination of statistical analysis that identified outliers and decades’ worth of expert and politically bipartisan criticism of electronic voting machines as highly flawed systems. A contention without evidence != to a contention that’s backed up by evidence (real evidence, not articles and studies shoddily and clumsily spun to support a contention).

Really, you’re making a fool of yourself at this point. Stop digging.
