The US does that quite frequently but I guess that is fine because it was the feds that did it. This kind of double standard I find quite annoying.
I don't really think that Russia did it and nobody has shown any evidence that they did. The declassified reports are short on details and that assumes that I trust the feds more than I do Russia's government. You might do well to consider what the cartoonist has to say about the subject.
Personally I find it far more believable that the DNC is importing voters since it is known that Hillary got 800,000 votes from illegals.
