2016 Postmortem

If I understand it correctly, to carry out such a high tech ballot stuffing, which this amounts to, it would require the machines in each county, or at least this chip in each county, to be infected with the malware. It is possible that a coordinated effort by dishonest Republican partisans could pull off such a project, but I don't buy the Russian intelligence bullshit.
Hopefully, this stunt will discover something, but you have to look at the larger picture.

While this is giving Stein her moment of fame, I don't see this ending well in the short or long term and Democrats will get stuck holding the bag. First, she targeted those three states. Those states and even Nate Silver said there was zero evidence. Stien even said there was zero evidence. There is also the issue of not states with even closer margins, where recounts typically happening. Of course Republicans noticed.
Here is the problem, Green partisans are noticing. Before you know it, people who don't identify with any party, the vast plurality, is starting to notice. There are different theories on her real motive. The one gaining traction is one that does not make us, Democrats, look good.
If this doesn't pan out, we will be really screwed for years to come.
