The Obama administration is accusing Russia of hacking US political organizations...the final days of the campaign are dominated by talk of whether the race is "rigged."
...cyber experts say it's virtually impossible for Moscow ...to influence the election outcome....
...The key concern...is public perception...
...The American election system is decentralized by design...Even though many precincts use voting machines, none are connected to the Internet, nor are they connected to each other.
....in Illinois, where hackers successfully stole roughly 90,000 voters' information...no data was changed in the system itself...
....voters who don't show up as registered properly can cast a provisional ballot and then follow up to verify their registration in the days following the election...and many states also keep frequently updated back-up copies of their voting rolls offline or in hard copy, and. Those back-ups could be used to rectify any changes made by hackers.
...Rumors of hacking -- even if not successful -- could undermine faith in the election and play into a losing politician's claim that the election was "rigged."

Oh, let's repeat what CNN reported...just a little louder and bigger, shall we? Here we go:
...Rumors of hacking -- even if not successful -- could undermine faith in the election and play into a losing politician's claim that the election was "rigged."
I just saw that Mark Warner, or some Democrat HACK at the Senate hearing asked an “expert” if the Russians could AFFECT VOTES on the precinct level.
Here is how the FakeNews CBS described the exchange:
Warner next asked if it was possible for the Russians to target voters at the precinct level with a network of bots.
Possible to target precinct levels with a botnet network for specific precincts?
Alexander: I think its technically possible, Gen. Alexander said, adding he couldnt confirm how much that happened.
Right-but is was OK for the Clintons for decades to accept money from foreign governments????
I call that interfering with US politics
You would have to Hack all 57 states ,LOL
The Obama administration is accusing Russia of hacking US political organizations.
Merely usual and customary pinko Bullshiit. Still don’t realize the reason they lost the election is because they...SUCK!!!
Look, the story changes from minute to minute, to favor whatever line is being championed by the Ministry of Propaganda Media.
In 12 hours, expect a complete reversal of all reported facts.
We have to remember...This was written when they thought Clinton was the sure winner....
It was only after Trump won that the Russians WERE able to hack...LOL
They are continuing to say “hacking” in order to gas light the general Boomer population, whose ideas on how these things work come from movies and television shows. There’s also the very real possibility that the media people are clueless.
Bogus, Bogus, Bogus !!!
Where is the evidence of Russian meddling?
Is it in a lockbox with Barack Obama's real I.D. and birth certificate?
Obama tells Trump “Stop whining over concerns about election rigging...”
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/president-obama-tells-donald-trump-stop-whining-election/story?id=42883773
Obama said there was “no serious” person who would suggest it was possible to rig American elections, adding, “I’d invite Mr. Trump to stop whining and go try to make his case to get votes.”

Miami (CNN) President Barack Obama admonished Donald Trump Thursday, saying the Republican nominee’s claims that he might not accept the results of next month’s election are “not a joking matter.”
“I want everybody to pay attention here. This is dangerous,” Obama said at a Hillary for America event in Miami Gardens, Florida.
“Because when you try to sow the seeds of doubt in people’s mind about the legitimacy of our elections, that undermines our democracy. Then you are doing the work of our adversaries for them.”
Obama also encouraged the crowd of about 1,800 at Florida Memorial University to take advantage of Florida’s early voting, telling the audience in doing so they can reject what the President called Trump’s “dark, pessimistic fear-mongering.”

Of course while Obama was attacking Trump 3 weeks before the election for even suggesting the election could be rigged, he was using every agency and office of the US government to SPY on Trump, his campaign and his associates - with no results to report to the American people about “Russia”
I saw Obama on the news during the campaign, shortly after Trump’s allegations that the election could be hacked, deriding the idea, laughingly stating: “I don’t even know what that means, ‘hacking an election.’ How do you hack an election?”
Does anyone else remember that moment of media Trump-mockery?
Assuming that video has not been scrubbed forever, Team Dem has a little explaining to do.
P.S. - I see silverleaf just posted the same recollection.
bump
stop using SOROS voting equipment....
there
no more “hacks”...
