https://www.greenbaypressgazette.com/story/news/2017/01/23/russians-suspected-hacking-local-dems/96965824/GREEN BAY - County websites of the Democratic Party in the area have been under attack, at least one apparently by Russian hackers, an officer of the party says.
What appears to have been Russian hackers compromised the website of the 8th Congressional District Democratic Party as well as the sites of seven county Democratic party organizations, said Mary Ginnebaugh, who chairs the congressional district as well as the Brown County Democratic parties.
Russian hackers have been accused on the national level with interfering with the U.S. presidential election by getting into the Democratic National Committees website as well as that of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee in Washington.
While no one can prove beyond doubt that Russians also were involved in the local hack job, two hackers left calling cards with Russian email addresses on the local websites in an apparent gesture of contempt or braggadocio, Ginnebaugh said. Green Bay police were notified and have forwarded information to the FBI, she said.

And dont forget: There were at least 75 contacts, including 22 meetings, throughout the election and transition, between Trump associates and individuals linked to the Russian government. The president and his associates have also lied about every single one.

"I'm in the system now, but won't flip a few dozen votes here and another few dozen there..."
Does Wisconsin have paper ballots to back up their voting machines?

(70,489 posts)Now, I believe you when you say that Russia went after the vote too* but
if you remove a voter from the voter d-bases or change a voter's address
so he/shewinds up voting in the wrong location or register the voter in another
state (see interstate cross check) when he/she is already registered in
their home state you cancel out their votes too.

(26,109 posts)My husband and I moved within county and city...went to change our registration. My husband registered first and had his ID (TN drivers license) taken so they could make a copy of it. I register and she doesn't ask for my ID. She was going to use his ID number for my voter registration card.

(15,805 posts)it gets the signal to carry out its nefarious preprogrammed commands in subsequent elections?
Trump became president thanks to 80,000 people in three states. Wisconsin has 72 counties, easy enough to shift a few votes around that would go unnoticed in the big picture and not look suspicious at all.
Multiply that across every state...

was @ >90% chance of winning back his senate seat and somehow he lost?
