Why Didn't Someone Else Think Of That?
40 Answers
A powerful (not democratic) nation sees one of its political adversaries going to democratic elections, Powerful nation thinks candidate A in office rather than B would be better for powerful nation's interest. Powerful nation uses its "Intelligence Services" to find out what's going on. (I think their methods may be "overt" or "covert", whatever distinction that implies). Powerful nation devizes ways of "influencing" the electoral process of its adversary by producing negative news about B and none about A (oh, and "fake news" flattering the one at the expense of the other). All very naughty stuff given the universally accepted principle of C keeping his or her nose out of D's election.
Given the fact that Putin has got his puppet into power by subterfuge you have to ask how the combined weight Obama, Clinton, Soros, CNN, Hollywood, Merkel, BBC etc failed. Was there or was there not a campaign against Mr Nasty persistent and unrelenting? Didn't they try hard enough? Where did they go wrong?
Were they, perhaps, too nice,

So with conflicting news agency reports, it's understandable why those who voted for Trump may have simply thought the whole story was hokum.
Are you saying that the Washington Post story was hokum?

You'd have to go to the Washington Post site. There's an article there from October 31st, but I can't extract info from it, because the site has a pay wall, and I've exceeded the number of articles I can read for free.
You can find it if you search for:
"Clinton campaign accuses FBI director of ‘double standard’ in email probe"
The subheading is:
"Comey reportedly declined to put out an FBI statement linking hacking to Russians seeking to influence the race."

So the voting had nothing to do with it then ?........
And about that voting , do the population of the powerful democratic nation require the news media from a less powerful undemocratic nation to prompt them which way to vote ?....
Have you stopped to think that millions of Americans who support Trump WANT better relations with Russia ?....
Where did the Democrats go wrong ? - I can suggest six words , uttered long before Trump announced he was standing :
" We came , we saw , he died ."
Would you vote for that ?

Previous video showed Obama deriding the suggestion that an election could be rigged. This second video discusses possible challenges to the result AFTER the election. Here two hacks (not as po-faced as the androids on CNN) talk about legal challenges to the result - recounts, but not lobbying of the electoral college among them. Described as "unprecedented", "contrary to our tradition of the peaceful transfer of power", and even "subversive. All this, of course, predicated on a Hillary victory.
