Florida's voting system had been hacked, possibly by Russian hackers.
Florida's voting system had been hacked, possibly by Russian hackers. Sen. Nelson said it publicly, but was ridiculed by his election opponent, Florida's current governor, Rick Scott.
Turns out, Sen. Nelson was right and his #GOP counterpart was either wrong or refused to say anything publicly, putting Florida's elections into question.
However, three people familiar with the intelligence tell NBC News that there is a classified basis for Nelson's assertion, which he made at a public event after being given information from the leaders of the Senate Intelligence Committee. The extent and seriousness of the threat remains unclear, shrouded for reasons of national security.
