As spelled out by Andrew Follet over by DailyCaller.com It would be virtually impossible for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton to rig the election - that is according to professor John Gilmour of the College of William and Mary.
True, parts of the American electoral system are vulnerable to hacking, fraud or voter impersonation, but according to Gilmour, it would be far more difficult to alter the outcome of a national election than typically thought and relatively easy to catch, as the logistical difficulties of “rigging” a national election are far greater than simply hacking a few voting machines,
As Gilmour, told The Daily Caller News Foundation.
“Trump doesn’t explain what he means when he says the election will be rigged but goes back and forth from saying that the media is against him and that it will be stolen via voter fraud,”
“The more important thing to address is if the election will be affected by fraud at the polls,” he said. “There is such a thing as voter fraud, but voting is controlled overwhelmingly at the local level and fraud tends to occur at that level, making it very unlikely to swing a national election.”In other words, unless there is some over the top conspiracy of voter fraud - which I will not discount outright, voter fraud on a major scale is not such a reality, essentially making the point that we need to get out and vote crucial.
As voters, it is often times that we are swayed by public opinion, there are many instances where we feel insignificant, but we must remember that if we truly feel that way then we have already lost, we might as well give up while were ahead.
The truth is, it makes no difference whether or not we can change the outcome of this election, all we have to do is make sure we make a stand and vote - no excuses - and let God do the rest.
