In reply to the discussion: WOODWARD: Russians had placed malware in the election registration systems of at least 2 FL counties [View all]Lonestarblue
(10,170 posts)13. Every voter everywhere needs to check their registration frequently.
Even though Ive never had any problems voting here, for the 2018 election I went to the country elections site the day before I planned to vote and printed my registration information from the site, which also had a date on it, and took it with me to vote. I realize that not everyone can do this, but Democrats in key counties and states may want to do this if they can.
I wonder what states have done since 2016 to remove malware and also to beef up their security. I remember reports that the Russians had hacked the voting systems of at least 39 states. I wonder how many of those states actually searched for any hidden links that the Russians buried to allow them easy access in November.

He doesn't have a clearance. It's very difficult to go after a reporter for that.

Shit they did this in a widespread way in 2016. FBI just didn't investigate thoroughly.

And the Russians did this with the knowledge of State Republicans and the Trump Admin too.

The Russians placed malware but there's no evidence they activated it? How about we assume they
