In reply to the discussion: The FBI says as many as 39 states had their voting systems scanned or targeted by Russia. [View all]Golden Raisin
(4,755 posts)8. And I'll bet 2018 and 2020
are already targeted and vulnerable to repeat performances. Between gerrymandering, homegrown election rigging/manipulation and "Russification" I am very doubtful about "throwing the bums out" in the upcoming elections. Election integrity is crucial. The Russians know it. The drastic dimensions of what happened in 2016 are still not fully appreciated or understood by many in the USA.

Also they can have malware installed prior to the election that can alter the votes.
