Russian hackers probed election systems in all 50 states, a new Senate report confirmed Thursday.
The report comes one day after former special counsel Robert Mueller told Congress that the Russian government is working to meddle in U.S. elections "as we sit here."
"It wasn't a single attempt," Mueller said Wednesday of Russia's 2016 election interference. "They're doing it as we sit here. And they expect to do it during the next campaign."
The bipartisan report by the Senate Intelligence Committee released Thursday confirmed previous comments by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that Russian hackers scanned election systems in all 50 states ahead of the 2016 presidential election. DHS initially acknowledged Russian attempts to hack into election systems in just 21 states.

One of the fascinating meta-arguments about Trump is the folks opposed don't seem to understand that the general public "gets" that pragmatically the last couple guys selected who were "ideally qualified" turned out to be crap, so maybe the criteria that make one "qualified" are crap.
Kinda like dating, there's some women that keep bringing home shitty guys and seem to refuse to even consider the problem might be they have awful selection criteria. Its always gotta be some other problem like bad luck or astrology or the whole system is rigged or where have all the good men gone or anything other than they have bad taste in men.
