(14,483 posts)13. Here's a good refresher article from four years ago that may help....

Now that some of the smoke has cleared, we know two basic facts.
1. Russian hackers were able to acquire voter rolls from a number of key battleground states.
2. Russian bot-farms were able to inundate social media with fake news, propaganda and Trump-friendly talkin points in the run-up to the election.
The question we must ask is a simple, but important one, because the plausibility of this whole data-sharin shindig rests on it
How did the Russians convert generic voter roll information into a specific list of targeted social media contacts?
-----------
All Russian intelligence needed was to associate an email address with a name and address of a voter and bingo! Every social media account you own is tied to your email address, right? Once they had an email, they could data-mine everything about you from your social media feeds. They immediately knew if you were a Trumper, a Hill-bot, a Bernie Bro or a Stein fanatic, and could tailor a bot-campaign custom-made for you!
So where did they get the email addresses? This is where Spectrum Health comes in...... So what did the DeVos family get in return for Spectrums role in this little ping-ping wing-ding? Youll have to ask the new Secretary of Education, Betsy DeVos!

They love Russia. Some have been wearing shirts: I'd rather be Russian than Democrat.

Of course they are anti mask. And taxpayers will have to fund their treatment when they get sick.

I assume he knew, and it is in the report. That is why it has been kept hidden.
