A programmer had hard-coded the Ukrainian national anthem into the voter database in the US state of New Hampshire, media reported, citing a cybersecurity firm which found troubling security bugs written into the database.

Boy, I'm sure glad the Democrats don't know about this.
As a side note, Ukrainian government officials connected to the Clintons and deep-state meddled “big time” in the 2016 election, against Trump.
Sputnik; formerly Voice of Russia and RIA Novosti, naming derived from Russian спутник, “satellite”) is a Russian state-owned news agency and radio broadcast service. It was established by the Russian government-owned news agency Rossiya Segodnya on 10 November 2014. Sputnik is frequently described by academics and journalists as a Russian propaganda outlet. In April 2017, Sputnik signed a personnel exchange deal with the Global Times, a Chinese Communist Party tabloid.

What does that mean? That the Ukraine National Anthem was hard coded? Would anyone in NH Election office know?
I preferred Vegas when you could sit at the 1 dollar blackjack table and smoke their free cigarettes from the box on the table and drink their free booze all day long until sometime in the night you finally got drunk enough to lose the 10 dollars you came in with.
More of your Rooskie fear-mongering nonsense
no sources for the story ... “could have”, “maybe”, etc. ...
LOL, if you guys are this desperate, it must mean Russia is still losing, huh?
