FBI Director Christopher Wray assured Americans that they could have confidence in the U.S. election system during the November midterm elections despite efforts from the Russian government to undermine it, Politico reports.
Said Wray: I think Americans can have confidence in our election system. What the Russians do is sow both inaccurate information, disinformation, its a kind of information warfare, and then propaganda: exaggerated half-truths, distortions.

(23,123 posts)Wray isn't stupid, but obviously is willing to lie for his bosses. He has no knowledge that Russia won't hack the voters roles to remove Dems or won't hack the actual votes to remove x% of all Dem votes. This hasn't been investigated from 2016 because drumpf wants to keep it a secret so Russia can do it again and again.

(27,826 posts)Back in January of this year, Sen.Marco Rubio (R-FL) introduced a bill with Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), called "Defending Elections from Threats by Establishing Redlines (DETER) Act.
Why hasn't Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) even taken up this bi-partisan bill?
Action, not words, is what is needed, Mr. Wray.
