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.

So far none of it is admissible in a court of law. All these 'analysts' are still speculating. Bring it before the judge, and then we can talk. So far, the only real evidence is within the DNC correspondence itself (if there isn't some fake stuff inserted there as well). And so far, all the plausible voting fraud is also within the DNC, in their primaries. Until it makes it into court, all this Russian stuff is just more birtherism, and the democrats are just crying over another loss after they couldn't prove anything from 2000 either. Introspection is not their strong suit.
