The "foreign intrusion" angle is a red herring. In my opinion, the assumption that a foreign hack would be the most likely vector for vote manipulation, which is being played up in tech circles, is the best evidence that the vote was in fact manipulated.

A tech worker or contractor with "alt-right" leanings could easily manipulate the vote without being detected. And there are plenty of them...

Play up the "Russia couldn't do this, you're insane" line and everyone assumes we're looking for outside intrusion by a foreign power, when in fact it is far more likely an intrusion would come from inside.
