Hillary Clinton's campaign is being urged by a number of top computer scientists to call for a recount of vote totals in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.
[...] The computer scientists believe they have found evidence that vote totals in the three states could have been manipulated or hacked and presented their findings to top Clinton aides [on November 17].
The scientists, among them J. Alex Halderman, the director of the University of Michigan Center for Computer Security and Society, told the Clinton campaign they believe there is a questionable trend of Clinton performing worse in counties that relied on electronic voting machines compared to paper ballots and optical scanners.
[...] [It was noted that] Clinton received 7 percent fewer votes in counties that relied on electronic voting machines, which the group said could have been hacked.
Their group told Podesta and Elias that while they had not found any evidence of hacking, the pattern needs to be looked at by an independent review.
[...] A former Clinton aide declined to respond to questions about whether they will request an audit based on the findings.
Additionally, at least three electors have pledged to not vote for Trump and to seek a "reasonable Republican alternative for president through Electoral College" according to a [November 16 statement] from a group called the Hamilton Electors, which represents them.
"The Founding Fathers created the Electoral College as the last line of defense", one elector, Michael Baca, said in a statement, "and I think we must do all that we can to ensure that we have a reasonable Republican candidate who shares our American values."

the hypocrisy of the left denying election fraud
First, it sounds like you're talking about Democrats.
I don't think there large numbers of anti-Capitalists among that lot.
On economic matters, Blues tend to vote Right-Center. [politicalcompass.org]
Generally speaking, Blues are NOT "Left".
A committed Leftist would have voted for e.g. Gloria La Riva or Jerry White.
A Leftist who voted strategically[1] would likely have voted for Jill Stein--who, again, is not a Leftist.
[1] She was on the ballot in enough states to hypothetically get 270 electoral votes.)
In short: Left != non-Republican
