he FBI has responded to recent concerns about U.S. voting systems being targeted for cyberattacks as Election Day approaches, saying the agency takes the threat "very, very seriously" and is working to "equip the rest of our government with options."
FBI Director James Comey addressed the issue while speaking to government and private-industry experts attending the Symantec Government Symposium in Washington, D.C.
"We take very seriously any effort by any actor," he said, "to influence the conduct of affairs in our country, whether that's an election or something else."
His comments come one day after news surfaced about FBI warnings to the states that hackers had infiltrated one state board of election and targeted another.
Three days ago, Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., sent a letter to Comey, expressing concern that "the threat of the Russian government tampering in our presidential election is more extensive than widely known and may include the intent to falsify official election results."

Wag the dog
Dear nice FBI guy,
nobody out here can trust the FBI anymore, after your agency let Hilliary off (and on such PATENTLY NON-LEGAL “GROUNDS” too)
sorry, friend. we used to like ya a whole lot...
nowadays, you should find an honest job (in an honest company) for a change, just saying
Pardon me but if Comey is taking this so seriously why is he making jokes about getting questions regarding Hillary’s emails? this guy is a schmuck.
Russians? Ain’t buyin’ it.
Translation:
Trump wins: “We’ve been hacked!”
Hillary wins: “We stopped the hack attack!”
Result: Comey is still alive.
What if the Russians were always the innocents, and the US has always been demonizing them, throughout the whole long history of the cold war? (I would never even have postulated such a theory, until the current day).
That, AND if the Dems get caught cheating, they can blame the Russians.
It’s a win/win CYA either way.
I don’t believe there is any competition.
so fricking weird, the commies are blaming the ruskiyes for creating the capitalist alternative. I can’t see how it works.
Because as we all now know, it's about INTENT!
censoring that is disgraceful.
It's becoming like the old Soviet Union. Same in Canada. Any and all over the top leftist crap is let thru, but basic conservative arguments are randomly censored,
Right? That blow job for the Clintons effectively destroyed the authority of the FBI.
we can only hope they are so over the top NOBODY believes them anymore.
p.s. we have been vanquished. we’ve been down for a long time. even should Trump lose, the FREEDOM Movement has progressed.
FUFBI. Traitors, liars, Commies, inserting Islam into the fabric of the Nation. Enemies of Truth, Justice, and the American Way - by THEIR choice.
Every government has an internal security service that does...whatever needs to be done.
Double FUFBI.
a century’s worth of effort to build credibility for the national police service (FBI), something many Americans never supported to begin with.......... all that effort is now flushed down the toilet by letting the Clintons off (and so transparently, too.... like when he said he could not prove intent....concerning felong statutes that DO NOT REQUIRE INTENT in the first place)
This has stink emanating all over it..
Funny how this was brought up a day before the primaries in two states???? You know darned well, they have known this for some time.
ABC NEWS is absolutely blocking me out I operate under my PAC name icon Stop the Magnet and this is the second attempt to post directly on their BS news stories..only leftist comments allowed. I guess I need to get screenshots and continue to try posting.
I NOTICED TOO......
