The Left Is Speculating That The Russians May Have Already Hacked the 2018 Election

Thursday, 18 October 2018, 3:30 BFH Uncategorized 23

It’s pretty clear, the left has internal polling that suggests they are going to get their asses sewn to their faces. If their polling said they were going to get their “blue wave, ” they would NEVER float the idea that the election is in danger of being monkeyed with.

Here’s How Russia May Have Already Hacked the 2018 Midterm Elections.

Russian hackers were notoriously active in the 2016 election. Although President Donald Trump disputes it, evidence suggests that they were responsible for breaking into the Democratic National Committee’s computers, according to U.S. intelligence reports. They ran a disinformation campaign on Facebook and Twitter. They also attacked voter registration databases in 21 states, election management systems in 39 states and at least one election software vendor—and that’s only what the government’s intelligence services know about.

Although there’s no evidence that these attacks resulted in direct changes in vote tallies, cybersecurity experts fear that the Russians may have already made inroads into the U.S. election system, including planting malware—malicious computer programs—in the voting machines themselves. States and counties have reacted so slowly to the threat that secure voting machines aren’t going to be in place until 2020, giving the Russians an incentive to strike in 2018, while they can.

  1. MSNBC Brian Williams highlighted President Trump awarding the Congressional Medal of Honor Wednesday to retired Marine Sgt. Major John Canley of California, a Vietnam War veteran who saved 20 fellow soldiers . . .

  4. Question:

    Who would benefit the most by Russian hacking?

    Wouldn’t it be better for the party whose policies call for open borders, reduced military, more abortions, gay marriage, and loss of infrastructure through high taxes? False claims of minority status and Black lives matter?

    Guess who? So who complains too much? The commie socialst basterds, that’s who.

  6. So what I’m reading from the left is that the Russians are more concerned about America’s welfare than the Democrats are. So much so that they are hacking our elections to defend us from socialism.

    Okay

  7. They’re just setting up for Phase II of the Mueller witch-hunt. The show trials and indictments will continue. Don’t believe the Fake News that Rodentstein wants Mueller to wrap it up.

  8. Our great democrat leaders should be able to share the password, “stinkfinger” on the whiteboard while CNN films it. No one should use that password unless they have clearance. We didn’t give Russians clearance, you evil thuglicans. It is clearly hacking by Russians without clearance. Duh, we have proof. Let’s put it another way: Write down your hard to remember password and put it in your pocket. It falls out of your pocket and onto the street. Someone uses it without your authorization. That’s called HACKING. Sheeeesh, the orange racist Russian really has messed with your ability to think hasn’t he.

    I had the same reaction when I heard dems on fox news saying that there is “voter suppression” going on in the GA Governor’s race

  12. Damn straight, seaoh…

    WSB TV, 10/20/16: “A new poll shows Hillary Clinton leading in the Peach State by four points.”

    She lost Georgia by 5 points.

    Entire MSM on June 9th, 2017: “LATEST GEORGIA ELECTION POLLS SHOW OSSOFF WITH A 7-POINT LEAD OVER HANDEL IN RUNOFF”

    Ossoff loses by 5 points on June 20th.

    Entire MSM 10/19/2018: “Republican Kemp and Democrat Abrams statistically tied in Georgia governor race”

    You can see where this is headed.

  15. Too bad the Dems got trolled by all those Republican-votin’ Russian agents disguised as Mexicans that they’ve been letting across the southern border the last few years, ain’t it?

  20. I read that in states that are releasing early voting numbers that Republicans are not only higher than 2014, but also 2016.

    Hell the socialism shit and the mob shit is even scaring old liberals. I know an ex-politician turned real estate guy in his late 70’s, who is a lifelong democrat who even supported Obama and has pictures hanging on his wall with him that is saying he can’t vote for democrats this year because they’ve went too crazy. When you’re too crazy for a guy who voted for Obama twice and took pictures with him and had them signed by Obama, you’ve really went too far off the deep end.

  21. “Russians may have already made inroads into the U.S. election system, including planting malware—malicious computer programs—in the voting machines themselves.”

    This is a PERFECT reason to standardize on ONE voting platform, and if it’s electronic, MAKE THE SOFTWARE OPEN SOURCE so anyone can see if there’s any hacking being done. The software can be BURNED ON AN EPROM so it cannot be modified. The only things that need to be changed are the office names, and the candidate names and parties, and the program itself can print the votes in encrypted form so it’s not human-readable but can only be deciphered by TWO codes – a serial number from that specific voting machine, and a code determined by the machine’s machine ID that’s stored in a central server. That way there’s a paper trail of who requested the ability to read the coded votes. In addition, checksums can be calculated so the total votes for each candidate MUST agree with the tallies from the machine to prevent “fixing” the results on the back end.

    There are ways to make voting machines a LOT less prone to tampering.
