But Russia rigging the election isn't and never was a conspiracy theory. It's a conspiracy fact!

Obama came out about it in July 2016. He was pretty straightforward about what was happening.

Are we talking interference with voting machines or just spreading bullshit rumors? Because we know Russia did the latter, but that isn't rigging an election. Swapping out ballots, interfering with voting machines, assassinating candidates, those are rigging an election. Just like America has done in the past. But talking a load of bullshit is not rigging an election.

Google is your friend

So you don't really know then, do you. You just are repeating a talking point you heard but you don't know why or what it is about. You've made an allegation, it is up to you to substantiate it.

Was that when he said anyone who thinks that there was an attempt to predetermine the election results (aka the election had been decided in favor of Hillary Clinton) was nuts?

Because hello Mr 180 degree turn around.

The latest Washington Post article about it talks about the hacking and public release of key DNC files and the social media campaigns, but specifically says that the Obama whitehouse found no evidence that they tampered with the vote.

ETA in case I wasn't clear since apparently I'm having problems tonight: If there is actual widely-accepted evidence that they tampered with voting machines or sent out a legion of Russian spies with fake IDs to vote for Trump or something, fine. But I don't consider rumor-mongering and hacks to be "rigging" the election.

I dunno. With 20% of the tweets possibly coming from a bot farm in Georgia (the country, not the state), well-timed releases of data obtained from DNC computers by Russian state hacking teams, and aggressive social-media astroturfing including call centers posing as American conservatives to spread fake news, voting-machine tampering didn't appear to be necessary in an election that was damn close in a few key states.
