America's intelligence community confirmed that our elections process was severely compromised by Russia.
While they did not analyze what impact Russia's activities had on the outcome of the 2016 election, President-elect Donald J. Trump points to evidence that Russia did not tamper with voting booths as proof that Russia's cyber efforts did not effect the outcome of the Presidential race. That argument distracts from conventional communication wisdom which assert that public relations and marketing strategies (including fake news and disinformation) can and do sway public opinion. Therefore, affecting the outcome.
Our Democracy is in great peril if we knowingly proceed with results. America's leadership in the world will be crippled, and Trump's presidency will be illegitimate.
