Once again the problem is not who gets elected now. The problem is will ANY voters accept whoever gets elected at all?

FBI warns 20 states of hacking attempts after it detects voter registration system breaches

A Homeland Security official told the Associated Press it was unclear whether the hackers were foreign or domestic. ABC News reported on Wednesday that more than 20 states were targeted.

Many cybersecurity experts have said it would be nearly impossible for hackers to alter an election's outcome.

Democrats are up in arms after the Democratic National Committee and many officials were hacked by people with ties to the Kremlin, while GOP nominee Donald Trump has repeatedly warned about a “rigged election,” though he directed those worries at in-person voting fraud, something that almost never happens.

So far, 19 states have expressed interest in a general “cyber hygiene” scan of key websites — akin to ensuring windows in a home are properly closed, another Homeland Security official told the AP.
