Questions about the Election

[Yuuri 21,636]

No clue where to post this at.

So lets say that Russia did hack the U.S. to make Trump more favorable, does that mean he's disqualified or we have to see this election restart itself? Or will he still be the President-elect?

Lets say Clinton does somehow get enough of Trump's electoral votes. Can she refuse the election to become President?

And off a related note, can a (In this can [still] Obama)president be arrested?

*If under wrong tag or section please move it to the right one.

- He will still be president elect

- She could probably refuse but that would be strange to hypothetically refuse the presidency that you won with electoral votes.

- I don't know

As far as I can tell, it looks like Russia hacked the DNC, they didn't hack the election itself. What they did was influence the election by releasing hacked information – which may have swayed people to vote for Trump. There's two ways to look at that in my opinion. The first is, "Woah, what are the Democrats actually up to?" and the other is, "A foreign nation tried to tip the balance in our presidential election." Both arguments are valid, but because Russia didn't actually (as far as we know) alter the votes, Trump still won fair and square through the Electoral College and will become president regardless.

Meanwhile, Hillary's popular vote count has grown to the largest number any candidate has ever received. 😐 I just really don't want President Trump to happen.
