The M$M is back paging more important issue in WAPO Russia hack story: PROTECTING VOTER MACHINES!

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/obama-orders-review-of-russian-hacking-during-presidential-campaign/2016/12/09/31d6b300-be2a-11e6-94ac-3d324840106c_story.html?utm_term=.fd05c6f0e03f

Specifically, the White House wanted congressional leaders to sign off on a bipartisan statement urging state and local officials to take federal help in protecting their voting-registration and balloting machines from Russian cyber-intrusions.


I noticed this after reading Mike Allen's defense of himself and multiple other media minds attending the M$M ring kissing party of Benedict Donald; Mike Allen's twitter defenses are mostly focused on Clinton email hacks... not ballot machine and registration hacks by Russia.

Don't get distracted with too much analysis that allows the M$M to legitimize Benedict Donald and his Band Of Bigots in any way.

This election was NOT ... a free and fair election..... period end of story.

There's too much evidence that even Benedict Donald agrees with that lets anyone know there was something not right at best.

Your take?

... is claiming there were ballot machine or registration hacks. The evidence just isn't there.

Russia assisted Trump by stealing and leaking information helpful for him as well tainting the waters with their troll farms. Those are harder to fight than hacking, which would throw an election to congress.

... is even worse.

That's what is being back paged; the republicans didn't want to protect the ballot and voter machines and the main person who said no has a wife in the Twitler admin

voter registration and electronic voting from Russian interference BEFORE the election. So, 1) the WH was aware and wanted precautions and 2) no bipartisan effort was made. This is interesting info.

alter anything in our election system or voter registration is another outrageous gaslighting attempt. That is a ridiculous idea and one more they're trying to sell that I refuse to believe. This is not normal it's UNPRECEDENTED!

... nah... don't need that data after what happened in Florida in 2000 with the 20k blacks purged from the voter rolls.
