17. Maddow reporting what has already been reported in Texas.

Jun 2017

I made a comment recently on another DU story about Dallas County being hacked but the surrounding counties of Collier and Tarrant, both very red, not being hacked. I wanted to know whether an analysis was being made of which counties were hacked (only Republican or both), but I was chastised here for havng an unsubstantiated claim that the Russians may have had U.S. help to determine such detailed information as to which counties are heavily Republican or Democratic. I'm happy that Rachel is now bringing this to the public because it has been in the news here in Texas for the past couple of weeks, including which counties had attempted hacks. Heavily Republican counties reported no contacts. The RNC database would have included information about voter preferences, though I am not claiming that they shared it with Russia. It's just that I do not believe in the coincidence of Russia finding such detailed information on their own.
