Wharfie,
You like that better?
I already told you how ridiculous your original position was.

80K votes spread out over three states is not a thin margin of victory. Those oh-so-clever Russians would have to know exactly which three states to target and which voters to convince.

You're just stuck with "shoulda coulda woulda," which is what every loser tells himself.

You're right. It was an extremely tight race and Trump won in those three states not by "a few percentage points" but by less than 1% in each of those key states.

0.1% of that was able to swing an election by a few percentage points in exactly the right states?

Also, we don't know the only thing the Russians did was create social media messages ... they penetrated voter registration databases in FL. How do we know they didn't do this in other states and kill enough voter registratioos in Detroit, Milwaukee, and Phillie? The detailed polling data provided by Manafort to Russia would have told them exactly where to kill voter registrations.
