Re: Did the Russians affect your vote?

To be fair, I have to say that I don't know if the Russians affected my vote or not. It is highly possible that they did. Well, that is if the stories are true about how the Russians "meddled" in our election. The accusation is that the Russians were trying to cause confusion by posting multiple stories under fake names on both sides of any issue. I cannot tell you which stories were true and which were false, nor can I say which stories affected my vote. I know I would never have voted for Hillary no matter what, and I don't vote in either Republican or Democratic primaries, so it did not affect anything there.

That brings it down to whether a story the Russians posted made me decide to vote for Trump or Johnson. I cannot say what made me decide which to vote for of those two, but they were my choices in November. Somehow, I doubt it was Russian interference that made me vote against Hillary, but I have to admit that at least some of the stories they posted might have done so.

On a slightly different note, if the Russians interfered in the election by posting stories about the issues, why is no one upset about CNN, MSNBC, Fox, etc. meddling in the current election? I have still not seen any difference between what the media is doing and what Russia was accused of doing.
