This just in, Mexico is interfering in our elections. Their citizens are being allowed to vote and the worst part is there are treasonous Americans helping them do so.

Speaking of DHS trying to hack into Georgia’s voting system, I remember the Georgia Secretary of State issuing a letter to the DHS asking for an explanation. Did DHS ever address that letter? I’m assuming they did not.

Can someone explain to me how actual votes could possibly be changed, added, or subtracted?

I suppose that voter rolls could be hacked, but we were assured that voting machines are not on a network and are not connected to the internet. That each voting machine’s memory device was tallied without being connected through any said network or internet/intranet.

If that is not the case, someone owes the public an explanation, because that was the ironclad assurance that was made when the switch to electronic voting was made.

So no voter rolls were altered and no vote counts were changed? It's an issue that needs to be addressed, but not earth shattering.

No. They just want liberals to be angry and their narrative to remain in tact. They have been telling themselves for so many months now that the Liberals are making all this up, Donald Trump is great and Liberals are bad that when something flies in the face of their b.s., they immediately reject it as fake.

It's really disturbing that these so-called Patriots are more angry at liberals or social justice Warriors than they are about a foreign country trying to help win an election for Donald Trump because they think he is going to take it easy on them.... in theory of course

Sounds like she didn’t do her job very well.

And you'd be wrong. Trump Nation realizes that real damage to our REPUBLIC via the Electoral Process is far more apt to be from Illegal immigrant votes, than Russian spying on the voting rolls.

If Jeh Johnson fears anything re Russian penetration into the Rolls...it's that the Ruskies will EXPOSE the Illegal voters that support the Dem Party.

Barack Obama was/is a greater threat to Constitutional American than Putin is. And the evidence to back up that statement will be coming in the near future. Drip...drip...drip.

I'm glad you seem to be in favor of a national voter ID law. Seems like that would be the best fix for this potential problem.

Of course it sounds like that to you. It sounds like that to most of you. That's why you aren't to be taken seriously in the discussion.

Didn't we already know they penetrated some states voters logs but nothing much happened?

Notice how the "no votes were changed" disclaimer came at the end of the article.


That and not naming the "successful" ones? Out of 21 "an exceptionally small number were successful"? What is that number and what constitutes "successful"?
Is that number somehow classified?

We knew they had attempted, but didn't previously know that any systems were successfully breached.
