I don’t doubt that Russian geeks hacked into our nation’s computer grid somehow and did something to influence the U.S. presidential election.
Unlike the president-elect, I am inclined to believe the analyses put forth by some of the best intelligence minds on the planet.
What I remain unclear about, though, is the nature of what the geeks did. What did they do — and I need a precise, detailed explanation — to possibly tilt the election in Donald J. Trump’s favor.
* Did they put out fake messages that threatened voters in heavily Democratic precincts, decreasing voter turnout?
* Or, did they somehow make ballots cast for Hillary Clinton be logged as votes for Trump?
* Did the Russians float fake news stories about Hillary, telling voters that she is the child of Satan and that a vote for her would be a vote to send the nation straight on the express track to hell?
President Obama vows retaliation against the Russians. It could come as early as Thursday, according to some actual news reports.
But this inquiring mind — the one in my noggin — is anxious to the max to know what precisely the Russians might have done to influence our vote. Was it decisive?
Did we actually elect the wrong person as our next president?
Oh … wait!
