The Dems never got a chance to use that Y2K maneuver.
The GOP stole the election, instead.
In the same vein, what if the results of the 2018 mid-term elections are cast out and ignored on account of "interference" by the Russians? I have no doubt the assboils will have no problem doing a 180 turn on "the great hoax" if they think they can make it work for them, and if they feel they'll lose their majority if they don't. Do you think the Deplorables will rise up in outrage to stop it?
Remember, these are the people who gave us Birtherism, "crisis actors" and Pizzagate.
