This is all I have on this right now..stay tuned


There is THIS from a few weeks ago, but not sure if the TWEET is about this discovery or a more recent one.
Let's see what we can find..

1. Makes me wonder if they'll hack our voting systems on election day. n/t

[misterhighwasted]

2. Of course they will. That's why TrumPutin has enlisted trolls to hack the polls.

With high poll #'s for Trump it will be more believable when the voter machine hacking gives us President Trump.

I want to know what will be done about this, with the election just 40 days away.

[Avalux]

5. Me too. And I sure as hell want to know Donald's involvement. n/t

[BobbyDrake]

7. But how will his "400 lb person in a bed" hacker critique go over?

Idk if we've seen the full fallout of that comment yet.

3. I just checked my voter registration.

I'm still registered.

6. UGH! With Comey at the helm, somehow I don't feel a smidge of confidence.

Comey
"In no cases was information changed, nor were any actual voting systems at risk.
Comey reiterated to Congress that those actual voting systems are not connected to the Internet and are decentralized, making broad hacking of the election nearly impossible,” CNN notes.
“Hacking attempts are also not a cause for panic. Voting registration databases have always been appealing targets for hackers, who can use personal information for financial crime."

How about hacking for election rigging crime, Comey



Good find. Thanks pnwmom
