BOOOOM!! "hackers are believed to have penetrated at least one state voter-registration database" [View all]

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/the-white-house-is-scrambling-for-a-way-to-punish-russian-hackers-via-sanctions/2016/12/27/0eee2fdc-c58f-11e6-85b5-76616a33048d_story.html

Though Russian government hackers are believed to have penetrated at least one state voter-registration database, they did not tamper with the data, officials said.


Why is this important even after the first WAPO story that broke along these lines mentioned Obama wanting to protect state level voting resources?

Because the FUD and M$M (high paid FUD) have left this part of the Russia hack out of their narrative and focused MAINLY on the DNC hacks by Russia. There has been no (or few) mention of the state level voting machines being associated with the Russian hacks at all past Obama wanting to protect those resources until now ...

2 Things a person COULD believe after hearing this news

1. That the Russians hacked one of the state registrations, looked at the data and said "... well, we'll just leave all this election turning stuff alone... " :rolleyes:

2. That there was ONLY one state level electronic voting resources that were open to hacking in some way.

IMHO, the two aforementioned beliefs would be Trump Voter thinking and improbable...

What's more probable is Russia fucked with the state level electronic voting resources TOO and adds to the conclusion that this election was far from a free and fair election that should not be ALLOWED to be certified on the 6th of Jan and recorded on Jan 19th

Your take?
