Last night in UFC action, Amanda Nunes knocked Ronda Rousey out in 48 seconds. Sports writer Jason Whitlock used that as the basis for this election comparison:
Face you make when you win the popular vote, but the Russians hacked the electoral college. pic.twitter.com/g7v2o68NfT

Hacked the electoral college? Whitlock will attempt to explain shortly, but in case it was necessary, some reminders were provided:
The electoral college was not hacked. You sound like a fool. P.S. Try not politicizing sports.

Russians didn't "hack Electoral College." Hacked e-mails, not votes. This misinformation undermines integrity of voting.

That's the face you make when you realize the Russians totally hacked your sense of humor. https://t.co/Qj8HSRcGqO

Whitlock addressed critics of his tweet this way:
I suggest you stop reading fake news and stick to sports. The Electoral College wasn't hacked moron.

Hey, jackwagon, I don't believe in the Russian hacks. It's a joke. https://t.co/QxsJAEfAT3

The joke is you were caught being factually ignorant about a serious subject. But keep on keeping on Jason.

How, precisely, did the Russians "hack the electoral college?" What thing(s) did they do to accomplish that? Show your work. @WhitlockJason
