God, this is just laughable. The Russians hacked into Chicago election machines. To what end? To make sure Chicago didn’t go for Trump? Of course Chicago jumps to his feet to thank the doj for making sure elections are okay. What a farce.

[pepsionice]

Man, you think that the Russians might have a voting listing and an address list, and might be establishing that half the folks listed....are either dead or illegally on the list? This was supposed to be top secret.

I guess the Russian hackers in Massachusetts, California and Oregon who were changing those states to Trump states were better at covering their tracks.

Previous FR threads in the last year noted the NSA had hacking tools that would leave digital finger prints of another entity to take the blame.

Then this tools was hacked or intentional given to a foreign state.

As a side note to this thread, please consider this.

I’m not cyberspace security expert, but keep in mind that hackers in all countries are probably hacking 24/7.

[Bonemaker]

“The indictment states that hackers obtained private information on about 500,000 voters in the cyber attack, including names, dates of birth and partial Social Security numbers.”

Hell that was just Chicago doing routine election fixing not the Russians.

[SERKIT]

Crook County likely wanted to make sure it could still count ballots from Russian-American, yet dead, voters.

[Deaf Smith]

Remember also that the Fed's were caught hacking the Georgia? election offices. Said they were just checking integrity.

Then Chicago...*Better cover our tracks this time.

Probably Obama administration Department Homeland Security.

Georgia election officials accuses DHS of hacking state computer system washingtontimes.com

[Red Steel]

IP spoofing seems widespread these days. Child’s play for governments.

[Revel]

Some of the states said that the IP addresses of the hackers came back to DHS. It is so hard to believe that was true after we see what Obama’s justice system was capable of.

Too bad for the Russians, the cemetery voters have hacked the Cook county elections for over a hundred years. The newcomers are amateurs by comparison.

[FlingWingFlyer]

How in the heck would Chicago know if there was some “funny business” going on in their elections?

[Lumper20]

Farce is dead on. Obozzo loaded up every fed. agency to include State, NSA, CIA, DOJ, homeland security, ICE, and you name it with CAIR types and commies. The US GOV is “PURE TRASH” AFGE FOREIGN thugs protected by the union. Hell, they were CZARS. That alone tells us Obama was tied to RUSSIA. FIRE ALL TOP FLOOR PUNKS AND MAGA. We must demand every Congress critter cannot be an AFGE union type for any benefit(s).

ROTFLOL!

Pretty much my first thoughts as well ...

[Ann Archy]

Look in the CEMETERIES!

[oldbill]

Just check the Chicago cemetery records.

[oldbill]

Beat me by 5 minutes.

[Major Matt Mason]

What a coincidence that IL is the state that was "hacked". Seems like that state is always in the middle of some shenanigans, especially during the Obama years and immediately after.
