Russia's cyberattack on the U.S. electoral system before Donald Trump's election was far more widespread than has been publicly revealed, including incursions into voter databases and software systems in almost twice as many states as previously reported.
In Illinois, investigators found evidence that cyber intruders tried to delete or alter voter data. The hackers accessed software designed to be used by poll workers on Election Day, and in at least one state accessed a campaign finance database. Details of the wave of attacks, in the summer and fall of 2016, were provided by three people with direct knowledge of the U.S. investigation into the matter. In all, the Russian hackers hit systems in a total of 39 states, one of them said.
[...] The new details, buttressed by a classified National Security Agency document recently disclosed by The Intercept, show the scope of alleged hacking that federal investigators are scrutinizing as they look into whether Trump campaign officials may have colluded in the efforts. But they also paint a worrisome picture for future elections: The newest portrayal of potentially deep vulnerabilities in the U.S.'s patchwork of voting technologies comes less than a week after former FBI Director James Comey warned Congress that Moscow isn't done meddling.

The liberals wont be happy until we bombed Russia because they lost Hill the election. The neo-cons (Hill and Mccain) wont be happy until we bomb Russia because they made money on backroom weapon deals.
Lets just fuckin get it on and let all these god damned warmongers die in the same atomic flame as the rest of the world. Then finally they can be happy they killed the earth in revenge for liberal butthurt and in the quest for politician profit.
All Trump asked for was renewed relations, but these fuckers wont stop until we are all dead because they just cant have peace.

The afterlife switchboard just called, asking in which order you would like to take the calls of all the foreign ex-leaders eager to point out the irony.
