"the publication of a story based on an NSA document detailing Russian attempts to hack American voting systems in 2016."

Is this correct? I haven't heard of attempts to hack "voting systems."

washingtonexaminer.com reports: A classified intelligence report obtained by The Intercept reveals that Russian hackers may have more deeply penetrated U.S. voting systems during last year’s election than previously reported, including trying to hack elections officials.

The Intercept reported Monday about a “top-secret” National Security Agency document. The document — dated May 5 — details hacking efforts by Russian military intelligence that includes a cyberattack against at least one U.S. voting software supplier.

The report indicates Russian military intelligence, specifically the Russian General Staff Main Intelligence Directorate, or GRU, also sent spear-phishing emails to more than 100 local election officials days before the November presidential election.

Not feasible: not centralized, not uniform.

Whatever the word, hacking, means in these contexts, it is not what the vernacular means.

Would there be any reason to believe that the information included in the stolen and leaked file is real? I don’t particularly think so.

This conveniently shores up the failing narrative about Russian hacking the election and distracts from Democratic scandals.
