​Vladimir certainly has the motive, I'm sure he's delighted with the
election outcome, but I don't think he has the means. Most modern voting
machines have ​

connected to the internet​, in fact they're so old they're not even
electronic but mechanical, the main danger from them is not malicious
hacking but malfunction arising from the difficulty in finding good spare
parts.

​Yes it's odd isn't it. Before the election Trump kept talking about a
rigged election, but he hasn't said much about that lately for some reason.
I don't think anyone was more surprised by the outcome of the election than
Donald Trump, I saw him on TV today, I thought he looked a bit dazed. He
would never admit it but I bet at this moment he feels like he's gotten in
over his head.

​The Democrats know the election wasn't rigged ​
and that half (well nearly half) of the population is just deplorable;
making a stink about it now would serve no purpose and things are screwed
up enough as it is.
