The technology has existed for some time. It has been used elsewhere by the same parties who likely acted at the behest of the GOP in Michigan as well. They weren't Russians, they were local operators and it only took a few of them. Very old news in the electronic voting world.

The real scam was in Detroit and Wayne county where the machines broke down and more than 300,000 voters never got their ballots counted correctly, if at all.

This election was manipulated on every level and each just enough that they made it appear Trump won. When there was a possibility of hand counting the GOP threw in the kitchen sink to make sure it didn't happen. They played every dirty trick there is to make sure their faked win stayed un-recounted. Don't even start about Wisconsin where the same crooked machines recounted the votes as did on election night, to say nothing of what went on in Waukesha county. In North Carolina we have very good reason to believe that if McCrory had forced a manual recount it would have un-done the Presidential and US Senate races as well.
