NBC News - Russians penetrated U.S. voter systems, top U.S. official says

The U.S. official in charge of protecting American elections from hacking says the Russians successfully penetrated the voter registration rolls of several U.S. states prior to the 2016 presidential election.
In an exclusive interview with NBC News, Jeanette Manfra, the head of cybersecurity at the Department of Homeland Security, said she couldn't talk about classified information publicly, but in 2016, "We saw a targeting of 21 states and an exceptionally small number of them were actually successfully penetrated."
Jeh Johnson, who was DHS secretary during the Russian intrusions, said, "2016 was a wake-up call and now it's incumbent upon states and the Feds to do something about it before our democracy is attacked again."
"We were able to determine that the scanning and probing of voter registration databases was coming from the Russian government."
NBC News reported in Sept. 2016 that more than 20 states had been targeted by the Russians.
There is no evidence that any of the registration rolls were altered in any fashion, according to U.S. officials.
In a new NBC News/SurveyMonkey poll, 79 percent of the respondents said they were somewhat or very concerned that the country's voting system might be vulnerable to computer hackers.
In January 2017, just weeks before leaving his post, Johnson declared the nation's electoral systems part of the nation's federally protected "critical infrastructure," a designation that applies to entities like the power grid that could be attacked. It made protecting the electoral systems an official duty of DHS.

Ah. The new talking points are in.

I have a feeling that if the Russian Government wanted to hack into the different voting systems that would have 100% success.

Now that muh collusion has fallen apart, Obama admin found to be complicit in pay for FISA warrant scandal, and Clinton campaign caught colluding with Russia via Fusion GPS....
NEW TALKING POINT:
Russia hackers attempted to hack voter rolls. May have even PENETRATED a few states. (tiny font: no votes were actually affected, unlike the caught red handed Dem voter fraud in FL, VA, MI, and PA)

Notice how the "no votes were changed" disclaimer came at the end of the article. Typical headline tricks -- they know the average ADD American ain't gonna read the whole article.

This was reported as a bombshell report in June...
Russians Hacked Election Systems in 39 States According to Explosive New Report -6.13.17

Tomorrow it will be Trump is mentally unstable and they will recycle it all again.
Were we ever told why Obama's DHS hacked two States election computers?
WikiLeaks told us that it can look like muh Russia but it's not.

Who was in control of security in the USA before, during and immediately after the 2016 elections? Would that person/group be responsible for the integrity of the elections?
Hypothetically, IF their was a breach how would a mere candidate have the ability to prevent it?

Was it the real Russian Goverment or the CIA disgused as the Russian Goverment ? As WL has shown . Im pretty sure if Russia had the means to hack into the election rolls they have the means to disguise themselves - Just sayin

Again this and the corresponding Bush accusations of exact same is going to be storyline today against Trump as Leftists(that includes Bush) try to divert attention from the web of exposure they are getting more entwined in everyday
The louder they get the closer Trump is to capturing their guilt tightly and then finally exposing it in a believable way

We'll, we all know they try to do this every election. So do the Chinese and Israelis. The question we should be asking is: what are we going to do to continue to protect our system?

Just an FYI for those on work computers:
Do NOT google "Russian penetration"
