I'm not sure we will know the degree to which it affected the election, but I'm sure it had some influence. Either way, that is water under the bridge now.
Are you OK with this happening? Or, do you think we should take it seriously? Do you see it as undermining the integrity of our elections?
I do.
No, no you don't get off with that response, influence the election is a huge word. How did they influence voters? That has to be the question to answer since it is the accusation. Come on how?
Yes. I can. Who are you to make demands when you won't even answer questions?
There is no objective way right now to measure the damage done by the hacks, releasing to wikileaks, Russian propagated fake news, etc.
I think it would be naive to assume there was no effect. You can look at the proliferation of fake news and conspiracy theories spawned by all this, as one example and the willingness of people to believe it. You think it hasn't influenced opinions? There has been little attempt to critically analyze the material in its appropriate context. It's been released in data dumps.
Did it influence the election? Yes. Look at how the polls dropped after each release. Of course the polls were notoriously off this time but I think that has much to do with the many wildcards thrown into the election.
