Russian operatives have "penetrated" some of Florida's election systems ahead of the 2018 midterms, Sen. Bill Nelson said Wednesday, adding new urgency about hacking.

"They have already penetrated certain counties in the state and they now have free rein to move about," Nelson told the Tampa Bay Times. He said something similar a day earlier in Tallahassee but declined to elaborate.

"That's classified," the Democrat said.

Nelson, who is up for re-election in November, and Florida's other U.S. Senator, Republican Marco Rubio, wrote a letter to the 67 county election supervisors about potential threats, but that letter lacked the specificity Nelson has laid out.


Ok, feces just got realer than real. We better be able to vote correctly in November.

1. I call BULLCRAP on this ...

Sen Nelson is getting hammered on TV here in Palm Beach County and is down in every poll I've seen.

If he can elaborate or have someone else corroborate the statement - I'll be shouting it from the rooftops and calling every elected official I can to demand action.

As much as I hate to say it ... sounds a bit like a desperation play.
