Funny how no candidate, Party official of campaign manager claims that a loss what due to vote manipulation (including Bernie Sanders in 2016).

Funny as well that since rigged voting machines supposedly were introduced, Republicans have won three elections (2004, 2010 and 2014) and Democrats have won...three elections (2006, 2008, 2012).

Is there a warranty on the equipment?
