Russia Targeted Elections Systems in All 50 States, Report Finds

WASHINGTON — The Senate Intelligence Committee concluded Thursday that election systems in all 50 states were targeted by Russia in 2016, an effort more far-reaching than previously acknowledged and one largely undetected by the states and federal officials at the time.

But while the bipartisan report’s warning that the United States remains vulnerable in the next election is clear, its findings were so heavily redacted at the insistence of American intelligence agencies that key lessons for 2020 were blacked out.

The report — the first volume of several to be released from the committee’s investigation into Russia’s 2016 election interference — came just 24 hours after the former special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, warned that Russia was moving again to interfere “as we sit here.”

While details of many of the hackings directed by Russian intelligence, particularly in Illinois and Arizona, are well known, the committee described “an unprecedented level of activity against state election infrastructure” intended largely to search for vulnerabilities in the security of the election systems.

Obama: "There is no serious person out there who would suggest somehow that you could even rig America's elections. There's no evidence that that has happened in the past or that there are instances in which that will happen this time."

Russians knocked on my door many times. They kidnapped my family and threatened them if I didn't vote for Trump.

And they still have my furniture.

Happened under Obama’s watch. I suspect that there will be all kinds of subpoenas of Obama administration officials to testify before Congress...

“The Senate Intelligence Committee concluded”

I think I see the problem. The use of the words “Senate” and “Intelligence” together is an oxymoron. Particularly when the committee in question is “chaired” by that chicken$hit, Linda Graham.

Senate Intelligence....enough said.

What ever happened to the story about our own government trying to break into the State of Georgia’s election system ?

Two words: Uranium One

obumber knew the Russians wanted hitlery to win so he just let them interfere.

LOL

It’s worse than that.

ALL 200 STATES were targeted!!!!

If you’re gonna make something up, might as well go for the gusto :)

And families come and go but I hope you got your furniture back!! :)

We need a push for voter ID, paper ballots, purple ink, and periodic purging of voter rolls.

We can do a lot better than we are.

[Cementjungle]

Russians made my cat barf on the carpet.

[Scrambler Bob]

Error - Error

That should be all 57 states.

[CivilWarBrewing]

Doesn't matter who did it though. Russia IS Team Obama and Team Obama IS Russia.

This ENTIRE Russian HOAX is a Russian OP perpetrated by Russian AGENTS Obama & Co, including Russian agent Hillary. THEY'VE ALL BEEN BLACKMAILED AND CO-OPTED BY THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT.

Scary stuff.

[ealgeone]

That it went away tells you all you need to know.

[A strike]

More BS from The Communist Times.

[XRdsRev]

If the Russians were trying to help Trump, why would they waste resources in all 50 states ? Wouldn’t they have just focused on battleground blue states ? Does’t make sense to me unless the Russians were not really supporting Trump but just trying to cause chaos and uncertainty.

[Blood of Tyrants]

All the electronic voting machines in my county are stand-alone and not connected to the Internet. It would require a Russian at every polling station in the county.

Senate Intelligence....enough said ....

“Election systems”. “state election infrastructure”

What do these terms even mean?

This excerpt is so vague as to be incoherent.
