Russian operatives have "penetrated" some of Florida's voter registration systems ahead of the 2018 midterms, U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson said Wednesday, adding new urgency to concerns about hacking.
The state, however, said it has received "zero information" supporting his claim.
"They have already penetrated certain counties in the state and they now have free rein to move about," Nelson told the Tampa Bay Times before a campaign event in Tampa. He said something similar a day earlier in Tallahassee but declined to elaborate.
"That's classified," the Democrat said Tuesday.
He is facing a re-election challenge in November from Gov. Rick Scott, whose administration said it has no knowledge of the allegations made by Nelson.

I don’t believe the Russians penetrated, but I would not be surprised if China has been for a number of years. They are sophisticated and clever.

Democrats see Russians under the bed and hiding in the closet.
They want to get in bed with mom.

Nelson is full of crap. He’s lying and he KNOWS he’s lying.
My state has two of the most useless senators.

I don’t know if he really wants to open that ‘box’. Once you say the Russians are in....then you go to the solution. You dump the current listing of voters. You require mandatory ID to re-register. You hire an office of people to look for dead-voters across the state.
To: EdnaMode
I’m thinking sleazy Bill is getting a little concerned about his reelection prospects.

He knows he’s going to lose. What a peice of excrement Nelson has been. I remember him coming to my church in the 80s telling us how he was going to work hard for “people like us.” Went on to become one of the biggest supporters of abortion. He’s a waste of skin. Go RINO Rick Scott!
To: EdnaMode
Bill, planting seeds of why he lost.
To: EdnaMode
LOL, so 8 years under Obama to fix a broken system and now that he sees his 34 yr career of being a D Nothing Democrap Politician coming to an end, he start to cry WOLF WOLF!
Actually Its RUSSIA RUSSIA.

False BS. Rats are desperate and will stop at nothing.

Gee you would think that he has amassed enough corrupt money under the table from being a politician since 1983 to have enough to retire on for the next 200 years!
Remember whatever they claim as their NET WORTH is just a fraction of the real total loot they have gathered unto themselves, they have many front companies and shell account they they hide behind.
