Disgruntled Hillary Clinton supporters now believe what they made fun of Trump saying for weeks. The election was rigged.
An article published in New York Magazine, and picked up by CNN, that said Clinton should challenge the results in the key swing states of Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan because hackers might have tampered with the election.
This takes the #AuditTheVote calls up another notch. Question is who would be trusted to investigate? Not the FBI. https://t.co/fJ7JiazJBK

A computer science prof telling you you’ve been hacked is like a waiter telling you you have food in front of you.It’s real. #HackedElection https://t.co/zphVsmDcHR

HRC should certainly challenge the results in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, & Michigan. #AuditTheVote https://t.co/NV3ujKxokp

Okay, whoa. When you get Halderman saying something might have happened, I start paying attention. https://t.co/15Dxukjcjl pic.twitter.com/vMrun8wpaE

But it was New York Times columnist Paul Krugman who had the biggest mental breakdown of anyone.
OK, this is terrifying 1/ https://t.co/qnh6jd4Mom

The worst is that given the role of Russian hackers in the campaign, it’s all too plausible. That doesn’t mean it’s true. 2/

But now that it’s out there, I’d say that an independent investigation is called for. Not sour grapes — we *need* to clear this shadow 3/
— Paul Krugman (@paulkrugman) November 23, 2016
Honestly, I think I’d prefer to give election a clean bill of health, even though overturning would give it to the popular vote winner 4/
— Paul Krugman (@paulkrugman) November 23, 2016
But as I said, it’s out there. Without an investigation, the suspicion of a hacked election will never go away 5/
— Paul Krugman (@paulkrugman) November 23, 2016
Maybe a false alarm? But needs to be aired. https://t.co/JzgAf1TCJY
— Paul Krugman (@paulkrugman) November 23, 2016
Again, I hope there’s nothing there. And maybe it will all be cleared up very soon. But not silly to ask, given everything we’ve seen!
— Paul Krugman (@paulkrugman) November 23, 2016
I’ll call it a night in a min. What u need to ask is how we deal with the mere possibility. Dismissing out of hand is wrong 1/
— Paul Krugman (@paulkrugman) November 23, 2016
Someday it will happen somewhere. So needs to be flagged and addressed.
— Paul Krugman (@paulkrugman) November 23, 2016
Yes it might happen someday so let’s delegitimize this election now because we hate Trump, right?
But Krugman’s min was eased by someone who had a clue.

Metro Wisconsin, where Clinton did well, uses paper; rural Wisc, where she collapsed like everywhere, is electronic. https://t.co/4aF9ooOnWe

Effect of paper ballots in Wisconsin goes from 7 pts, like NY article, to 0 if you control for race education, density (true w&w/o weights,) pic.twitter.com/3ZVfDa44Zn

Two states that use paper ballots: Iowa and Minnesota, where the results look exactly like those in Wisconsin
— Nate Cohn (@Nate_Cohn) November 23, 2016
Nate Cohn is very reassuring. That’s good — and it’s evidence-based, which is the right way to go, not rejection a priori. Feeling better.
— Paul Krugman (@paulkrugman) November 23, 2016
OK, one last word: I tweeted about this because I didn’t want it just ignored and allowed to fester 1/
— Paul Krugman (@paulkrugman) November 23, 2016
The response from Nate was exactly what we needed. I personally wanted real reasons to dismiss this scare, *not* “don’t be silly” 2/
— Paul Krugman (@paulkrugman) November 23, 2016
It now looks as if we’re on much more solid ground, and can move on to the real issues 3/
— Paul Krugman (@paulkrugman) November 23, 2016
Maybe there is something to all that “fake news” stuff.
So hey here’s Paul Krugman peddling conspiracy theories & fake news. So media is going to stand up to this now right? https://t.co/bPKRZjmDH9

Banner night for @gabrielsherman and @paulkrugman and the future of fake news.
