“This was simply not true and DHS acknowledged they failed to contact us and ‘two or three’ other states,” Padilla said.The hackers efforts’ did not affect election results or the systems themselves.
They mainly consisted of attempts to scan the systems for vulnerabilities.
This keeps being repeated - the idea that the efforts did not affect results or the systems, but never with sufficient information to explain how we verified this.
Given that the Administration has created a bogus election commission that pays no attention to these issues, but instead seems to serve 2 goals: fake evidence to “prove” that 3 million undocumented people voted illegally, and 2) fulfill Kobach’s dear desire of getting as many people who might vote for democrats disallowed from voting, given all that, it doesn’t seem wise to accept that assertion without any fact/verification.
And lying to congress about notifying states that their systems had been under attack by Russia? There would be a hectoring subcommittee, hoopla, a nickname + Gate which would be pushed across the rwing media had this happened during the Obama Admin (like with the $12 muffins), or if we had a H. Clinton Administration.
What was it Duncan Hunter said about Trump? Something like: He’s an Asshole (in real person), but he’s our asshole. Guess with the whole ‘45’ Administration its : Ya their incompetent/are acting with malfeasance, but their our incompetents/malefactors.
