Russians Hacked 39 State Election Systems

Disturbing news from Bloomberg this morning discloses that Russian intrusion into U.S. election systems before the 2016 presidential election was much more widespread than publicly disclosed -- including intrusions into voter records and software systems in twice as many states as we were told.

Investigators found evidence that hackers tried to delete or alter voter data in Illinois. They also accessed software designed to be used by poll workers on Election Day, and in at least one state, accessed a campaign finance database.

Bloomberg cited details provided by "three people with direct knowledge of the U.S. investigation." In all, the hackers got into systems in 39 states, one of them said.

History will absolve me. Every fucking day that Kim Don Il and his ReTHUGs deny, remain silent or obfuscate makes this worse. Truth will out.

We can't hardly say it without tagged as CT, but, I think it was stolen. I hope history, or like next week or the next, proves it out.

And the trends favored Trump with astronomical odds.

We're all waiting for the great Democratic wave to sweep Repubs out of the majority and thereafter to impeach Trump et al, but I don't see many Republicans acting too concerned about it.

Why should they be? If they (and their surrogates) already have their thumb on the scale, then they know that they're relatively impervious to the will of the people.
