AM Joy: If the Russians got into 1 county then they could have gotten into all the other 66 counties

The reason being is that each county's election supervisor (not sure of the title) is electronically
linked to all the other county supervisors voter d-bases.

Looks like Bill Nelson was right about the electronic hacking of our vote.

... the Russian actions did not effect any votes. Funny, Vlad went to all that trouble to
have no effect on election. Ever since they passed HAVA (Help America Vote Act) in
2002 we have seen a red state shift in the vote despite the demographics and issues
being much more pro blue.

We're talking about the registered voter database. Nobody (including the Democrats who lost) claim that votes were changed

Point to the line in the story that indicates that voting machines were at risk. All the references are to voter databases.

They didn't find election engineering cause 1) no one looked, 2) Russian hackers covered their tracks.
Exit polls and pre-election polling all point to it also.
Go ahead and push your narrative though.

and asked if she really believed that the system in her county could stand up to the weight of Russian Hacking efforts. She had to agree that it likely could not do so.

They're just releasing the information as rolling disclosure in the hopes that they can tamp down our anger.

These people are shameless. I grow more and more convinced every day that Bill Nelson was cheated.

As was Andrew Gillum too. And don't forget Georgia's Governor and Senate races .....
If you want to believe Ohio's 2018 vote that 250,000 people voted for a liberal democratic
senator, Sherrod Brown but then turned around and voted for conservative republicans
for Governor, A.G. and Sec. of State.
