Full Title: Russian hackers could FAKE voter fraud after the Presidential election to try and destabilize the US, claim government officials
U.S. intelligence and law enforcement officials are warning that hackers with ties to Russia's intelligence services could try to undermine the credibility of the presidential election by posting documents online purporting to show evidence of voter fraud.
The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said however, that the U.S. election system is so large, diffuse and antiquated that hackers would not be able to change the outcome of the Nov. 8 election.
But hackers could post documents, some of which might be falsified, that are designed to create public perceptions of widespread voter fraud, the officials said.

Doubt the IQ at Reuters tops 125.
The MSM is the Country’s greatest threat.
Really, 1-2-3, let’s all believe Reuters.
The Russians!! They could fake faking the elections, too. Then, they could fake that they faked the elections, faking us out that they really fake-faked the elections that were being faked, but not knowing about faking the elections while actually faking the elections all the time. THAT would be sumthin’.
There is one thing you can be bloody sure of: If the Russians really wanted to fake our elections, 1: They would be much more surreptitious about it; and 2: The US gov’t would not whisper a word about it. IF the gov’t detected it in the first place, which is also doubtful. IF the US gov’t detected it or suspected it, they would absolutely not make this much noise about it.
For the US to know with total certainty that the Russians were behind this, they would have to reveal a unique way to identify IP addresses which can easily be made to ping over here then over there such that the location of whomever is actually pushing the buttons can not be known, by ordinary means. If the NSA had a means of identifying this, they would be flaming stupid to reveal that they did. No. This is Alinsky. They cannot help themselves. It’s deliberate misdirection.
As far I am concerned, this has all the hallmarks of the kind of blundery, clumsy piece of misdirection this administration has already done on multiple occasions.
As this goes on, I am going to become convinced beyond my current suspicion that it will ultimately prove to be the US gov’t and this admin probing the electoral system for means of perverting it. There is altogether too much noise being made that “it’s the Russians”. I call BS. The problem is, it will be beyond the election for this to be discovered.
The media and gov’t need to start looking in their own back yard.
Exactly!!
Could be, but either way Hillary wins and the Russians take the blame. The traitors are prepositioning to challenge a Trump win or disavow a Hillary loss.
Right you are too.
Thanks ProCon...
Don’t forget the millions sent to influence an election in Kenya in 2010.
By any means necessary Trump must win.
If it consists of what the dems have been doing for decades to get a woman like Hillary this close to the Presidency and we beat them at their own game. So be it.
The Progressives were on Russia’s side when they were communist.
Trump talking about the rigged system has forced the Democrats to act like they will uphold the election results no matter what. So in a way he’s inoculated himself against claims that the election was stolen if he wins. At least the Dems will look foolish (again) trying to challenge the results after claiming this month that election results are always sacrosanct.
Not really. Paper is easy to forge. And to stuff in a ballot box.
Which is why it’s hilarious that anyone would believe Putin is scared enough of Hillary winning to bother trying to influence the election either way.
The Russians have gone back to stealing our precious bodily fluids?
Remember when the Democrats used to say McCarthyism was paranoid and that the Russians weren’t really all over the U.S.A. trying to take our government over?
If I was dead I’d be turning over in my grave...
Russia is to Hillary what the Jews were to Hitler.
Why would the Russians bother? There is already plenty of evidence of real vote fraud. No need to falsify it.
This is just an establishment attempt to cover it’s tracks. “No, no...it’s not vote fraud...it’s those eeeeevvvill russkie hackers!”
