Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76559327 The report finds that Moscow conducted an “unprecedented, coordinated cyber campaign” against the nation’s voting infrastructure. Through its investigation, the committee found that Russia-linked hackers were in a position to “alter or delete voter registration data” in some states before the 2016 vote. [link to thehill.com] This sounds like war! So this explains it. The question all along has been how Russia could have hacked in on election day and changed the voting totals. Now we know they didn’t have to. All these Russian hackers had to do was screw with the voter registration data for just enough registered Democrats, so that those people would be turned away on election day. In such circumstances, some people insist on casting a provisional vote, while others get frustrated or confused and simply leave without voting. By preventing these people from being able to cast a vote, Russia directly rigged the voting totals before the voting even began. To be clear, the Senate Intel Committee is only acknowledging (for now) that the Russian hackers did break into the voter registration databases, and that they were in position to rig the election by targeting registration data. But bank robbers don’t break into a bank, gain access to the vault, and then decide not to take the money |

I am having a hard time understanding all these people who are making excuses and defending Russia after this. |
