Russian Hackers Targeted 21 States During Election, Official Says
So we knew about this long before the election. Even MSM was reporting it. Some would say they didn't change any actual vote totals. How do we know? Did they hack into these databases just to prove they could, and stop there?
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Russian hackers targeted 21 U.S. states election systems in last years presidential race, a U.S. Department of Homeland Security official told Congress on Wednesday.
Jeanette Manfra, the departments acting deputy undersecretary of cyber security, would not identify which states had been targeted, citing confidentiality agreements. She reiterated to the Senate Intelligence Committee that there was no evidence that any actual vote ballots were manipulated.
Department officials had previously said about 20 states had been probed by hackers working on behalf of the Russian government, but recent media reports had suggested the number could have been far higher.
Mark Warner, the top Democrat on the Senate panel, expressed frustration at Manfras refusal to identify which states had been targeted.
I just fundamentally disagree, he said.
Arizona and Illinois last year confirmed that hackers had targeted their voter registration systems.

And I'm sure someone inside the administration has already done that and have concluded it's a story line that doesn't make america great again.
