(30,481 posts)3. Russian influence should play no role in certification.
Not sure why that isn't abundantly understood by all.
The only thing I've seen that comes close to a reason not to certify on these grounds was Trumps public request that the Russians direct hacks at Clinton. Still need something more significant.
The Russians acting alone, and not hacking actual machines or the vote tally, is no reason to not certify an election or change the winner.
