Mueller Report: 'At least one Florida county' hacked and accessed by Russian intelligence

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Omaha Steve (a host of the Latest Breaking News forum).

The FBI believes “at least one Florida county” was infiltrated in 2016 with malicious software sent out by Russian intelligence agents, according to the Mueller Report released Thursday.

But the Florida Secretary of State’s office maintained its elections systems weren’t hacked, adding that the FBI hasn’t told the state which county they believe was compromised.

Hacking of Florida machines in 2016....I F***** KNEW it!

I worked a little bit late on election night 2016...I hadn't been home long when votes from the east coast started coming in. As soon as I saw those earliest returns, I KNEW it was going to be a bad night. I knew right then those machines had been hacked. I f****** KNEW it!

He is an illegal president, not duly elected - he must be removed from office. He and his enablers and co-conspirators must all go to jail. This has to stop now. How much longer are we going to allow this POS to shit in the White House?

And by the way, FUCK that Ratfucker Rosenstein - little slimy ass licker, he CRIED LIKE A BABY for the Dump My God how low can you go?

Might be a good place to start.


ps...this is from the Mueller report, so the statement should have backup evidence, right?

Release the report!

That Russia managed to hack into voting machines, whether a few or a lot. I also believe pure pride has helped keep this under wraps. Then when Trump was sworn in......

because there is no way that IQ45 would have won that election, no way. Not after Obama winning 2 elections in a row.
I too believed that machines were hacked on election day. Of course they were because they are the easiest machines to hack in the world.
Those fuckers in the GOP let them so they could win because the only way they can win is to cheat, or gerrymander.
The rotten fuckers need to be exposed.

to DU on election night and found it hacked - FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER - I knew then that we were likely screwed.

And we were. Royally.

but how many machines were programmed to flip votes by Republicans? No machines are ever pulled out and independently audited, ever. The Republican owners of the machines claim proprietary rights for their software.

We need to go to paper ballots but Republicans have gerrymandered districts in 2010 and they control the state Houses. Republicans are just evil, paid corporate prostitutes.

It was so obvious when the votes in that county fell so far below expectations nd it's the blues county in the state.

Only way Repukes can win. Of course Putin hacked into election machines and changed votes. Why else would Mantafort give the internal polling data to Russian intelligence? Told them which states to target..
