Russian hackers breached the election systems of two Florida counties back in 2016, the states governor, Ron DeSantis, told reporters at a press conference Tuesday. As for which counties, he wouldnt, or couldnt, say.
Im not allowed to name the counties. I signed a [non]disclosure agreement, he said.
DeSantis received confirmation of the intrusions during a meeting last Friday with FBI and U.S. Department of Homeland Security officials. That meeting followed a reference to Russian hackers targeting Florida made public by the Mueller report. According to the report, Special Counsel Robert Muellers investigative team understood that the FBI believed Russian intelligence had gained access in 2016 to the network of at least one Florida county government.
Two Florida counties experienced intrusion into the supervisor of election networks, DeSantis confirmed on Tuesday. As has become typical of these types of disclosures, he emphasized heavily that the election results were in no way affected.

A prudent patriot would then lock down all county voting systems, to make sure all are secured.

The GOP needs to be literally destroyed; they have gone totally rogue and are just openly ignoring all laws and rules that they find inconvenient at this point. This is not a political party anymore, just organized crime.
