Starting right now: Correct anyone who says "election meddling" IT'S CYBER WARFARE!

"Meddling" is what your nosy neighbor does.
"Meddling" is your mother-in-law giving unwanted parenting advice.

Don't be fooled, there's a reason R's are using the word "Meddling". It sounds so benign as to be not even important.

Stop falling for it please!!!

from now on:

They say "Election meddling"
You say "You mean CYBER WAR".

...if they insist it isn't treason they are refusing this fact.

US Cyber Command is a part of the Armed Forces of the US for exactly this reason, and this is most certainly war.
