Please spare us your fact-free comments on a subject about which you are completely ignorant.

How does a wannabe scientist like me obtain an account here to post material about artificial intelligence?

And just how would we know if they HAD been hacked? Hacked election results need only keep the margin of victory outside of suspicion limits. What percentage of elections held in the U.S. have been subjected to rigorous post-facto analysis? Virtually zero.

And none of this even addresses how elections ARE being stolen right now:

* with substandard resources for Democratic-leaning districts

* with inadequate ballot numbers

* with purging of Democratic voting rolls

* with non-counting of provisional ballots

* with tens of millions of Democratic-leaning voters losing their voting rights permanently because of racially-biased drug convictions

I really don’t think the tenor of this posting is helpful.

Secondly, and more to the point, why are you leaving Scienceblogs?

Because the article is written on my main blog, pointed to by this link. I will no longer be writing articles on the Scienceblogs.com blog, just pointers for the next few weeks, then nothing .
So, really, “elsewhere” is not “elswhere” but here, just a slightly different URL. Virtually the same thing!

See you on the other side …..

Huh? Why can’t we read it all right here? Since when is our precious attention hijacked here and taken elsewhere?.
