Russian hackers targeted 50 states' voting systems and were able to get into a handful, view files, copy voter registration lists and ... while no one is admitting to it, possibly change votes. Of course, no state is admitting votes were changed (we have to protect the democratic process' integrity, after all) but the question is: would Russian agents have gone through all that trouble without meddling further? And what's your state doing about it?
_But we know, without a shadow of a doubt, that these systems were targeted and breached. We know that Russian actors got inside. We know the DHS withheld information about this for nearly a year—not only from the public but from the individual states. Illinois admits that hackers unsuccessfully attempted to alter and delete voters rolls but the intruders were unsuccessful, partly because the state has a decentralized system.
But what if there was a state who, unlike Illinois, had voter data, voting-machine information and election rolls on one central computer?
That’s exactly what happened in Georgia._

Specifically, they changed votes in my state - Georgia. The man most responsible for correcting this, the current Secretary of State Brian Kemp, is also the GOP nominee for Governor this year. Anyone want to bet on him working hard to fix this before the election?
