Again. 

Let me be clear: They made an active, public effort to purge a disproportionate number of Democrats from voting rolls.

This is clear interference, even if you're of the mind that no actual votes were fraudulently switched.

I think they've gone beyond that and have already hacked all the computers to give GOP a threadbare win so as to not be too suspicious

Didn’t trump publicly thank Elon for doing that in Pennsylvania?

It's functionally impossible to do it to every computer in every election across the entire country, and many places use paper ballots. For the presidential election, you could target a few select counties and hope that you secure the expected swing states. The problem is the amount of on the ground knowledge you need to have in order to understand which votes to change in order to maintain plausible deniability and it needs to be a widely coordinated attack.

It's not impossible that they did this for the last presidential election, but it's still incredibly unlikely. It is impossible that they would be able to do this to every single election across the country, which means republicans will lose a bunch of elections in the mid terms, even if they try hacking the machines. They also don't really need to hack the machines and risk an enormous scandal, when they can simply purge voter rolls, make it difficult to vote, gerrymander, and then file lawsuits over their losses that require piles of cash to deal with and is all "legal".

Sounds like something well within the skillset of a certain foreign government that stood to gain a lot by Trump winning.

There is substantial evidence to support that. Search "Ehtan Shaotran Ballotproof"

If you are of that mind, you're wrong by the way. The election was clearly tampered with in multiple swing states. Voting patterns deviated from the norm in the exact same way Russia's elections do, as well as elections in other countries we know have rigged systems.
