by the Russians. I find it incredulous that with such a widespread attack by the Russians that no votes were changed.

Maybe they're that good so that our people couldn't detect any vote changes.

I still want to know - what preventative steps are we taking RIGHT NOW to prevent this from ever happening again in our elections?

We don't even have a president that acknowledges that the Russians interfered and hacked.

2018 is really just around the corner and will be on us sooner than we think. If nothing is being done to prevent future hacking and interference - then why should the American People even go out to vote. The Congress and our president is sending out a message that they don't care - why should the American People care?

This is all playing into the hands of the Repugs - because - they win when the turnout is light. They have no incentive to take any preventative actions.

Infuriating.

Obviously we're cutting taxes for the rich and deregulating the oil and gas industry.

The easiest way to mitigate the negative perception associated
with Vlad influencing our election outcomes
is to simply designate The USA
as an official Russian Federation territory....

See... no more election related problems.

Vlad has always wanted a Summer Kremlin...
And why waste all of the unexploited oil reserves that are beneath federally protected lands....

besides Vlad's military needs more recruits & a warmer climate for year round training & weapons development .... and Vlad likely believes that Nuclear power is the way of the future (in more ways than one)
But it can be so messy ... he will prefer to house the Nuclear development activities on the North American RF territory...

(Please note this is said with Sarcasm today...
but may not be in the near future...)
