The FBI has uncovered evidence that foreign hackers penetrated two state election databases in recent weeks, prompting the bureau to warn election officials across the country to take new steps to enhance the security of their computer systems, according to federal and state law enforcement officials.
The FBI warning, contained in a “flash” alert from the FBI’s Cyber Division, a copy of which was obtained by Yahoo News, comes amid heightened concerns among U.S. intelligence officials about the possibility of cyberintrusions, potentially by Russian state-sponsored hackers, aimed at disrupting the November elections.
Those concerns prompted Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson to convene a conference call with state election officials on Aug. 15, in which he offered his department’s help to make state voting systems more secure, including providing federal cyber security experts to scan for vulnerabilities, according to a “readout” of the call released by the department.

I can see it now. Three Democrats raise their hands and twenty get recorded.

Well if we could get an accurate non-bias polling count beforehand and then compare it to the election result, then we will know if there is fraud. For example if that poll says that Trump is ahead by 5% and Hitlery wins by a landslide, then something is up.
Foreign governments want Hilary so they can continue to work influence her if she was to win. There is no upside for them if Trump wins. The world wants a weaker America, hence their life be of.Obama and Hillary.
make them hand count EVERY ballot, then cross check for voting in other states.
OK. Let’s file a complaint with the Federal Election Commission (FEC).
There, that takes care of it.
Jeh Johnson sure don’t know much do he? DHS. Dept. of Homeland Stupids.
Wonder who they voted for?
Illinois was the other state, 200,000 voter records hacked.
Obama hacked into all the machines, just like he did in Illinois. Makes me hope he can hack the Cubbies & Bears into Championships. Sorry, I forgot he is neutered and no jack shit about sports. The only bets he makes are on what color pant suit Hittlery will be wearing for the day.
Go Cubs!
At this point why would I believe any claims that the FBI makes?
There is election fraud every four years -Chicago, Philadelphia, Florida even Ohio. It’s widely reported every four years. We keep electing good people to manage our election system but nothing ever changes.
What’s different: Donald Trump has been informing everyone who will listen the election is rigged and this time and the FBI has found it. More important: It’s BEFORE the election when something can be done.
I think the only reason the Democrats are totally freaked-out this time is because the hackers got into the Illinois system. Will they finally determine, the Democrats cheat?
Solution: Paper ballots and photo ID!

I have no confidence in this report. I believe the rats are laying the ground work so they can repudiate Trump’s win in the Fall. They’re working hard to destroy confidence in the system. If Trump wins they’ll claim it’s because his ‘good friend’ Putin rigged the system for him.
Dingy Hairy tried to allude to Trump being to close to Putin.
I agree. Even the touchscreens should have a paper record.
When foreigners can do this. Just wait and see WHAT the Libtards local geeks can do, and have done in the past !!!
If we get another chance at this we should have a paper printout handed to each voter. If the printout is in order, the voter can trash it. Maybe a fire could be handy to chuck the paper immediately.
But if the voter wants to more carefully verify later?
Then a number code is on the printout to verify the vote online.
‘Dingy Hairy tried to allude to Trump being to close to Putin.’
The democrats always project their own wickedness on conservatives. Weird how that works.
The Clintons are getting paid off by the Russians for favors.
