The CIA might be the most untrustworthy institution in the entire American government..The American history of foreign electoral manipulation — most of it far, far worse than what happened to Clinton — is a mile long.
The actual election procedures were not compromised; the ballot boxes were not stuffed, the counts were not falsified, and people were not prevented from voting.
This has been affirmed by all election officials of the United States. Nor was the electoral College affected, and that is who put Trump in office, after all.
ASK THE MAN/WOMAN ON THE STREET WHAT THE DIFFERENCE IS BETWEEN HACKING AND PHISHING AND MOST CAN'T TELL YOU THE ANSWER.
MAINSTREAM MEDIA IS AWARE OF THIS AND THAT IS HOW THEY ARE KEEPING THE FAIRY TALE OF RUSSIAN "HACKING" ALIVE.
HERE ARE THE TWO DEFINITIONS:
PHISHING:
FROM MERRIAM-WEBSTER:
-a scam by which an e-mail user is duped into revealing personal or confidential information which the scammer can use illicitly.
Such scams can be thought of as "fishing" for naive recipients.
FROM QUORA:
Phishing is like a mouse trap , you wait for the mouse to come for the cheese and when they do as you desired , you catch the mouse.
Phishing requires stupidity from a victim to execute.
HACKING:
-to gain illegal access to (a computer network, system, etc.).
TO ACTUALLY, LITERALLY GAIN ACCESS TO THE COMPUTER AND ITS CONTENTS.
FROM QUORA:
Hacking on the other hand is simply exploiting a weakness in a network or a computer. It may require extensive programming knowledge which may not be a prerequisite in case of performing a successful phishing attack.
SO, FIRST YOU GO "PHISHING" AND IF SOMEONE IS DUMB ENOUGH TO FALL FOR THAT , IF THEY GIVE UP INFORMATION THAT GIVES A POTENTIAL HACKER ACCESS TO A COMPUTER AND THAT PHISHER/HACKER HAS THE SKILL TO TAKE OVER THAT COMPUTER, THEN AND ONLY THEN CAN WE SAY A PERSON HAS BEEN HACKED.
ONE CAN FALL PARTIALLY FOR A PHISHING SCAM OR COMPLETELY.
MOST PHISHING IS DONE FOR MONETARY GAIN.
A RECENT ARTICLE BY THE HUFFINGTON POST TOLD US THE TRUTH, 21 STATES WERE PHISHED, NOT HACKED, AND NO VOTES WERE AFFECTED BY THAT, BUT THEN WENT RIGHT ON WITH RE-IMPLANTING THE LIE THAT THE AMERICAN 2016 ELECTION WAS HACKED.
The Department of Homeland Security told told election officials in 21 states on Friday that Russian hackers attempted to access their voting systems in the 2016 election.
ATTEMPTED, ATTEMPTED, ATTEMPTED, GOT IT?
NOW, PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING AND PASS THIS KEY INFORMATION ON TO ALL YOUR LITTLE FACEBOOK AND OTHER SOCIAL MEDIA FRIENDS:
Election officials in most of those states were quick to note the hackers were unsuccessful. In some states, the suspicious activity amounted merely to seeing if there was a vulnerability in the system. Only Illinois said hackers had successfully accessed voter information, according to AP. DHS has said there’s no evidence any votes, anywhere in the country, were changed by the attempted intrusions.
DID YOU GET THAT, WORLD, AMERICA?
THEY WERE UNSUCCESSFUL!
THEY DIDN'T DO IT!
THERE WAS NO HACKING, ONLY PHISHING.
WHOEVER IT WAS THAT TRIED TO PHISH FOR DATA FAILED.
HUFFPOST ADMITS THIS!
DHS SHOWS ITS LACK OF UNDERSTANDING OF PHISHING BY CALLING IT "SCANNING".
TO BE ABLE TO SCAN, ONE MUST HAVE ACCESSED THE SCANNABLE DATA AND THEY ALREADY SAID THAT WHOEVER THIS WAS FAILED.
YOU CAN'T SCAN WHAT YOU CAN'T ACCESS.
THEY ADMIT THAT NOT ONE VOTE WAS AFFECTED, THAT NO VOTES WERE CHANGED BECAUSE THIS WAS ALL PRIOR TO THE ELECTION WHEN THE PHISHING, NOT HACKING AS NO ONE WAS HACKED, SOMETHING MOST OTHER MSM ARTICLES HAVE ALSO STATED, BUT LIKE OTHER NEWS AGENCIES, HUFFPOST ALLUDES TO THE 'POSSIBILITY' THAT THE RUSSIANS SOMEHOW HELPED TRUMP WIN.
NOTHING COULD BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH.
REMEMBER, ALL THIS WAS EXPOSED IN AUGUST AND AMERICAN VOTERS OULD HAVE SEEN IT IN A WAY THAT CAUSED MORE OF THEM TO VOTE FOR HILLARY, SINCE RUSSIA WAS NOT HELPING HILLARY.
THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN, BUT I IMAGINE THE LEFT-WING SCREAMERS WERE DEVASTATED THAT SAYING RUSSIA HELPED TRUMP DID NOT THROW THE ELECTION IN HILLARY'S LAP.
SURPRISE, SURPRISE, SURPRISE!
EVEN WITH MANY AMERICANS BUYING INTO THIS, TRUMP STILL WON.
TRUMP WON BY MEANS OF THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE, JUST AS BUSH JUNIOR DID WHEN HE WON AGAINST AL GORE, AND NO ONE EVER SAID THAT WAS "HACKED".
COULD IT BE THAT ALL THAT PHISHING WAS "AN INSIDE JOB"?
AFTER ALL, THE FBI STOOD FIRM FOR QUITE SOME TIME THAT IT WAS NOT A RUSSIAN HACK, AND A FEW FROM TH NSA ALSO STATED TO THE PRESS THAT IT WAS MOST LIKELY AN INSIDE JOB.
HILLARY HERSELF ALLUDED TO THAT AFTER THE ELECTION.
10 Times The U.S. “Hacked” Foreign Elections and Democracies. Foreign Policy, Dec 22, 2016.
YES, AMERICA, OUR AGENCIES HACKED OTHER NATIONS' ELECTIONS IN SOME VERY VIOLENT WAYS.
Over a month after the conclusion of the 2016 presidential election, politicians, and unnamed sources quoted in various media outlets continue to raise the specter of Russian interference in the elections.
As TIME pointed out last week, this is a fear that goes back to the time of America’s Founding Fathers, with Alexander Hamilton, for instance, concerned about, “the desire in foreign powers to gain an improper ascendant in our councils.”
Yet, as Glenn Greenwald has pointed out throughout the controversy, there is not yet any substantive evidence that has been brought to the public’s attention, proving or strongly evidencing Russian interference in the election:
“To begin with, this is a second-hand report so you have somebody whose identity is being shielded describing what the CIA supposedly concluded, laundering that through the Washington Post. These are assertions that are being made completely unaccompanied by any evidence whatsoever, let alone evidence that we can touch and rationally review.
There’s all kind of reasons to suspect the CIA statements, including the fact that they’re wrong all the time, they’re programmed in a lot of cases to disseminate disinformation and there’s lots of reasons to view them as political actors.” – Glenn Greenwald, Co-Founding Editor of The Intercept
The United States has a storied record of interference in foreign elections, and while that does not justify foreign intervention in our elections, it does legitimize it as a geopolitical tactic, endangering the integrity of our own democratic process.
JUST LAST YEAR, THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION WAS BUSTED FOR INTERFERING IN ISRAEL'S ELECTION, USING TAXPAYER MONEY TO TRY TO DEFEAT NETANYAHU.
IT IS COMMON KNOWLEDGE THAT OBAMA VERY MUCH DISLIKED BOTH NETANYAHIU AND RUSSIA'S PUTIN.
"Some $350,000 was sent to OneVoice, ostensibly to support the group’s efforts to back Israeli-Palestinian peace settlement negotiations.
But OneVoice used the money to build a voter database, train activists and hire a political consulting firm with ties to President Obama’s campaign — all of which set the stage for an anti-Netanyahu campaign, the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations said in a bipartisan staff report.
In one stunning finding, the subcommittee said OneVoice even told the State Department’s top diplomat in Jerusalem of its plans in an email, but the official, Consul General Michael Ratney, claims never to have seen them.
He said he regularly deleted emails with large attachments — a striking violation of open-records laws for a department already reeling from former Secretary Hillary Clinton’s handling of official government records.
Mr. Netanyahu survived the election, and the U.S. spending was not deemed illegal because the State Department never put any conditions on the money.
THINK ABOUT THAT.
THINK CAREFULLY.
OBAMA HAD THE FBI, CIA, NSA ALL AT HIS DISPOSAL.
WIKILEAKS BUSTED THE CIA FOR USING RUSSIAN SOFTWARE TO HACK OTHER COMPUTERS.
DID THE CIA STEAL THAT SOFTWARE TO USE IT HERE TO MAKE THE RUSSIANS LOOK LIKE THE GUILTY PARTY, HOPING THAT WHEN AMERICA THOUGHT THE RUSSIANS WERE HELPING TRUMP THAT WOULD DEFEAT HIM?
IT WOULD BE VERY, VERY SIMILAR TO TACTICS AMERICA'S SPY AGENCIES HAVE USED BEFORE.
OBAMA DID WANT HILLARY TO WIN.
IT WAS OBAMA AND FBI DIRECTOR COMEY WHOM HILLARY BLAMED FIRST FOR HER LOSS.
DID OBAMA DIRECT COMEY TO "HELP HILLARY WIN" AND HE FAILED?
NONE OF THAT MATTERS.
NOBODY FELL FOR THE PHISHING ATTEMPTS, NOBODY.
WERE OUR FEDERAL ELECTION OFFICIALS STUPID ENOUGH TO FALL FOR A PHISHING ATTEMPT?
NO.
ALL 21 STATES THAT EXPERIENCED PHISHING ATTEMPTS HAVE REPORTED NO, THEY DID NOT TAKE THE BAIT,
NO, NO VOTES WERE AFFECTED, NO, THERE WAS NO HACKING,. NO, IN 21 STATES, NO, NOTHING HAPPENED TO CHANGE A SINGLE VOTE.
ILLINOIS AND ARIZONA EVEN SHUT-DOWN, PRE-ELECTION, FOR A FEW DAYS TO MAKE SURE.
LOOKS LIKE SOME OF THEIR "OFFICIALS" WERE TOO DUMB TO REALIZE WHETHER OR NOT THEY HAD TAKEN THE BAIT.
THEN THEY DETERMINED THEY HAD NOT AND ALL WAS WELL.
ON WITH THE SHOW!
THOSE 21 STATES HAVE POSTED THIS "NO, WE WERE NOT HACKED" ON THEIR OWN WEBSITES.
THE 'NOTHING WAS CHANGED' HAS APPEARED TIME AND TIME AGAIN IN THE "NEWS", BUT ALWAYS WITH THAT PUSH TO GET AMERICANS TO WONDER IF SOMEHOW, BY SOME FORM OF COMPUTER WIZARDRY, SOME ULTRA-GENIUS FOUND A WAY TO CHANGE AMERICAN VOTES, EVEN THOUGH CLINTON APPARENT;LY WON THE POPULAR VOTE.
THE MSM KEEPS LEAVING THAT OUT; CLINTON WON THE POPULAR VOTE!
HAD THE ELECTION TRULY BEEN HACKED, CLINTON WOULD NOT HAVE WON THE POPULAR VOTE.
CLINTON LOST THE ELECTION, WHICH WAS NOT HACKED, AS THAT ELECTION WENT TO THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE TO DECIDE THE WINNER.
THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE WAS NOT HACKED.
NO PHISHING AND NO HACKING TOOK PLACE DURING THE ELECTION DAY NOR DURING ELECTORAL COLLEGE VOTING.
BALLOTS WERE CAST, CLINTON WON THE POPULAR VOTE BY A SLIM MARGIN (THOUGH WE NEVER SAW A RECOUNT IN CALIFORNIA, FLORIDA, OR NEW YORK, OR NUMEROUS OTHER STATES WHERE ALLEGATIONS AROSE THAT HILLARY STOLE VOTES FROM BERNIE SANDERS AND THAT THE DEMOCRATS WITHHELD SOME VOTES FROM AMERICANS OVERSEAS, RIGGED A FEW COUNTIES' VOTE-COUNTS AND PERHAPS LIED ABOUT RESULTS OF EXIT POLLS).
ELECTION OFFICIALS SAID THEY DIDN'T FALL FOR THE PHISHING ATTEMPT.
IF THERE WERE ANY REAL CASES OF ATTEMPTED HACKING, THEY FAILED, AS ALL STATES HAVE REPORTED.
THE NEWS MEDIA WHO MAY HATE TRUMP MORE THAN CNN, THE WASHINGTON POST, REPORTED THE FOLLOWING ON NOV. 28, 2016:
U.S. cybersecurity officials think Russia has tried to influence other parts of the election, like leaking damaging Democratic emails or helping spread fake news.
But hacking the actual election is a different animal entirely.
Here's a reminder why it's almost impossible for anyone -- Russian or not -- to hack our elections system.
If 100 votes are cast but only 90 counted, the system breaks down.
The FBI warned state elections officials in August of possible attempts to hack state election systems after breaches in Arizona and Illinois...
"POSSIBLE ATTEMPTS" IS NOT HACKING.
FROM PBS: 26 Oct 2016, BEFORE THE ELECTION:
Why Russia Wants the U.S. to Believe the Election Was Hacked
In August, two election databases in Arizona and Illinois were hacked. Arizona responded by shutting down voter registration for nearly a week, and in Illinois, the breach resulted in the compromise of more than 200,000 voter records.
Hackers breaching databases has become so commonplace that the loss of personal information barely raises an eyebrow for most Americans. This hack, like so many others, received little attention at first.
While these breaches have helped sow the seeds of distrust, in reality, hacking the election remains technically challenging, even for state actors like Russia. But in this election, perceptions may overtake reality, and even if Russia fails in its attempts to hack the election, the doubt it raises can still bring them a strategic victory over their American rivals.
The goal is simple: break American confidence in democracy by either directly disrupting the democratic process or eroding its integrity. By sowing doubt among voters and raising questions about the authenticity of a candidate’s appointment, Russia can create internal American dissent that distracts U.S. policymakers, permitting Russia to move more aggressively towards its foreign policy goals.
Today’s concerns over elections can be largely traced back to 2000, when paper ballot counting complications due to “hanging chads” resulted in exhaustive recounts and legal battles involving the Supreme Court. In that case, both political parties claimed victory and it was weeks before Vice President Al Gore conceded defeat.
Crisis was averted because there was physical evidence for a recount and vote complications were limited to only one state and a few precincts. Still, the debate over who won this election and conspiracies about vote manipulation continue 16 years later.
THESE FOLLOWING PREDICTIONS CAME TRUE, EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS NO HACKING OF THE VOTE.
Now, if Russian hackers were able to disable voting machines—an unlikely but possible scenario—compromise voter rolls, or alter the integrity of the results on a wide scale, the highly polarized U.S. electorate might well break into destabilizing bickering. It’s possible that violence could break out. Donald Trump, the Republican nominee, has for months ominously echoed Russian media in suggesting that the election is rigged against him, that voter rolls are fraudulently filled with illegal voters, and that, should he lose, second amendment supporters might take matters into their own hands. For Russia, whether they disable election systems or compromise voter rolls, they’ve already partially achieved their goal.
THAT WAS IN AUGUST, OVER 3 MONTHS BEFORE ELECTION DAY, 3 MONTHS IN WHICH STATES COULD AND DID CHECK THEIR SYSTEMS, NETWORKS, COMPUTERS AND MAKE SURE THEY WERE SAFE.
THREE MONTHS.
Could hackers change the numbers to change our elections?
The Fix spoke by phone and email with Merle King, executive director of the Center for Election Systems at Kennesaw State University to get an answer.
In summary: It would be harder than we think — in part because we tend to conflate a number of very different election systems.
"When I hear about a hack, and it's attributed to a Russian IP address, my first reaction is it's identity theft," King said. "They're looking for large lists of critical information that can be used to create identities for credit card theft, etc. I don't instinctively think it's an attack on our election system."
"One of the challenges the public has in sorting through the various threads of the current election cycle's stories is understanding the differences between a campaign system, an election system and a voting system," King told us.
The campaign system is the tool set used by candidates or parties to get people elected.
The election system covers voter registration systems and other data centralization and is specific to jurisdictions.
The voting system is the actual process of voting: the machines, the ballots and the designations of who votes where and on what. [THERE ARE SEVEN CHECKPOINTS TO CERTIFYING AN ELECTION.]
Only once those [SEVEN] checks are complete is the result certified.
That's the process that needs to be hacked to directly change the results of the election, not a hack of the voter registration database. There are hundreds of similar setups in all 50 states that similarly flow upward to state agencies. That distribution is an asset, not a flaw.
Information flows between these systems, but not always in two directions: Campaigns, for example, use voter registration data from the elections system but don't send information back to it.
So if a campaign is hacked (or if the Democratic National Committee is), there's no risk to the voter registration database.
Confusing these systems can mean misunderstanding the threat — and the intent of the hackers.
NO RISK TO THE VOTER DATABASE...GOT IT?
"But most importantly, you could not alter the outcome of the election by hacking those systems. That would have to occur in the voting system" — the actual process of casting ballots. And that's harder than it seems.
Voter fraud is far, far harder than it seems, requiring a lot of people to break federal law for it to approach any sort of meaningful scale.
ALL STATES HAVE CERTIFIED THEIR ELECTION RESULTS.
IT'S BEEN OFFICIAL FOR ALMOST A YEAR NOW.
NO VOTES WERE CHANGED BY RUSSIANS.
NO, THE ELECTION WAS NOT HACKED, JUST PHISHED UNSUCCESSFULLY.
NOT A SINGLE COMPUTER HAS BEEN SHOWN BY THE FBI OR ANY OTHER AGENCY TO PROVE EVEN THAT!
IF THEY HAD SUCH A MACHINE, SURELY THEY WOULD TROT IT OUT TO THE PUBLIC OR TO THE SENATE AND SAY, "LOOK, WE HAVE HARD EVIDENCE, LOOK AT THIS! HERE IS THE VISIBLE PROOF!"
ANY GOOD COMPUTER EXPERT CAN TELL YOU, SO FIND ONE AND GO ASK, IF A COMPUTER IS HACKED, THERE IS A TRAIL LEADING TO THE HACKER. IT MAY TAKE SOME TIME, BUT THE SOURCE OF THE HACKING CAN BE TRACED BY SOMEONE WHO REALLY KNOWS WHAT TO LOOK FOR, HOW TO FIND IT.
ANOTHER THING MOST AMERICANS DON'T SEEM TO BE AWARE OF: HOW MANY TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THE PAST AND NO RUSSIANS WERE BLAMED.
[THIS IS A VERY WELL-DOCUMENTED ARTICLE BY THE WAY AND I HOPE YOU GO READ IT ALL <HERE>.]
Your voter information is sometimes stolen by burglars. Sometimes it gets hacked, sometimes leaked. Occasionally employees take it home. Sometimes it gets lost, and sometimes it gets found by someone else.
Certain basic voter list information must be accessible to the public so any citizen can check to see that election results are true. We need to be able to verify who was eligible to vote, who did vote, and make sure there are not more votes than voters. Elections cannot be accountable to the public without this election arithmetic.
Voter lists now live on networked computers; they are bought and sold (without you knowing who bought your data), they include unnecessary but sensitive information, they end up on private companies’ computers. They are massaged, merged with other information, such as what you bought at the store, and yes, your location on a map and who your friends are. When the juiced up version is sold, you certainly aren’t consulted about it.
ACTUAL BURGLARIES with theft of devices holding political data — and in this day and age that almost always includes voter information in some form — happens at all levels.
At the local level, the mayoral campaign office of Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer was broken into in June 2012. They stole two laptops containing “sensitive campaign and donor information.”
At the state level, the campaign office of South Carolina state senate candidate Deedee Vaughters was burglarized in July 2012. Just about everything of value was ignored but they stole the campaign’s laptop computer.
IN 2014, A burglar stole a laptop from Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin’s campaign office, along with other politically related offices including former Senate president pro tem Glenn Coffee, and left telltale signs on computers in Coffee’s office.
Nearly 163,000 data-containing items were stolen in the UK over just a 12-month period, and 17 percent of all thefts were found to involve data storage devices (laptops, tablets, smartphones, and desktop computers).
HIRE A HACKER.
BOTH POLITICAL PARTIES ARE KNOWN TO HAVE DONE SO IN THE PAST.
According to an article in the Wall Street Journal, hacker communities sometimes solicit online, and will “penetrate a passworded system in 48 hours or less for as little as $150.” One method, reports the Journal, is to spoof the e-mail of someone you know. You will likely open that message, which then installs malware which hands over your passwords. That’s exactly what happened in 2011, potentially exposing information for nearly a million Maine voters.
A voter data hacking incident was investigated by the Miami Herald in 2013, resulting in prosecution of an aide to Congressman Joe Garcia, A DEMOCRAT FROM FLORIDA. The aide had hacked voter data to counterfeit requests for absentee ballots, at first using an easily traceable Miami IP address, later wising up to conceal his computer’s identity with various foreign IP addresses.
THE FBI DID IT...AND GOT BUSTED.
Peter Camejo, a Socialist Workers Party presidential candidate in 1976 and Ralph Nader’s running mate in 2004, found out just how real political infiltration is.
Kevin Zeese, one of Nader’s staffers at the time, filled me in on how pervasive the infiltration was: According to FBI court testimony, out of 400 Camejo staffers 66 were FBI agents who had infiltrated the campaign.
“It turns out they included some of Camejo’s best and most effective people,” Nader said.
Campaign infiltration is certainly not limited to FBI agents. In depth reporting by Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward in their book “All the President’s Men” describes a process called “ratf_king” — strictly political and executed by political operatives, in which they infiltrate a campaign, or dummy up documents, or otherwise disrupt or spy on opponents.
LEAKS, INTENTIONAL AND OTHERWISE.
It’s really very difficult to know whether a leak is a hack wearing a cloak of plausible deniability. In 2006, 780,000 Chicago voters’ information was exposed. In 2012, more than twice as many Chicagoans were put at risk with a data breach of 1.7 million voter records. Also exposed were drivers license numbers and the last four digits of Social Security numbers for 1200 poll workers.
In December 2015, data security researcher Chris Vickery discovered the granddaddy of them all, the information on 191 million voters exposed on the Internet for anyone to see. Ahem. That’s about everyone of voting age in the USA.
That’s about everyone of voting age in the USA.
A day later, Vickery found another Internet location with data from 56 million voter records exposed.
The list with 56 million records included 18 million records which had been “enhanced” with information not found on any voter registration list, such as information about the voter’s enthusiasm towards guns and religion. Markers in the enhanced portion of the list led researchers to a company called Digital Smart Technology, Inc.
So this list was Republicanesque in character, though how it became open to public viewing is a mystery.
ONE OF THE FAVORITE PASTIMES OF THE TWO MAJOR POLITICAL PARTIES IS TRYING TO STEAL VOTER INFORMATION FROM THE OTHER PARTY, KNOWN FACT, REPORTED ON SINCE COMPUTER HACKING WAS MADE KNOWN TO THE PUBLIC, OLD NEWS, COMMON, COMPLETELY EXPECTED BY BOTH PARTIES.
REMEMBER THESE?
THE WASHINGTON POST MADE IT HEADLINES..
Two other voter database situations cropped up in 2015, but neither involved public exposure of voter data. Both involved leaks of analyses and strategic profiling of voters, used internally by candidates.
The first took place in October, when Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders discovered other campaigns could see political information developed by his campaign.
The second took place in December, when Sanders campaign workers could see other campaigns’ work.
A few techs for the Sanders campaign couldn’t resist the bait; they peeked, the tech leader was fired, and much political hay was made of the situation by all. The two breaches involved different databases but the DNC (Democratic National Committee) had some connection with both. Individual voter information was not exported back and forth, nor was it publicly released.
PLEASE DO TAKE NOTE THAT WHERE THE LEAKS, HACKS, BURGLARIES AND INSTANCES OF WORKERS TAKING DATA HOME WITH THEM ORIGINATED WAS DISCOVERED, WITH HARD EVIDENCE, PROOF, AND AN ARREST OR TWO NOW AND THEN.
ALSO NOTICE THAT THE HACKERS TRIED TO COVER THEIR TRAIL BY USING FAKE IP ADDRESSES. ALMOST EVERY HIGH SCHOOL KID IN AMERICA CAN DO THIS.
THE RUSSIANS WERE NOT BLAMED IN 2004, 2007, 2011, 2012, 2014, 2015 FOR ANY OF THESE INCIDENTS.
IT WAS ONLY WHEN TRUMP WON, AGAINST ALL ODDS AND MEDIA PREDICTIONS THAT THE RUSSIANS WERE TARGETED AS THE SCAPEGOATS.
BEFORE TRUMP, THE MEDIA ALWAYS SEEMED TO BLAME THE ACTUAL DISCOVERED AND/OR CONVICTED PERPETRATORS.
WITH NO PHYSICAL PROOF, NO ACTUAL MACHINES TO SHOW THE TRAIL, THE MEDIA, BECAUSE OF THE LOSERS, DECIDED TO BLAME SOMEONE WHO CAN'T DEFEND THEMSELVES, WHO WON'T BE INVITED TO PROVE THEY DIDN'T DO IT IN AN AMERICAN COURT OF LAW.
THAT'S VERY CONVENIENT.
IT ALSO HELPS HILLARY DEAL WITH HER LOSS.
THE RUSSIANS MAY HAVE JOINED THE CHINESE, THE IRANIANS, THE NORTH KOREANS, THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS WHO HAVE PLAYED "PHISH OR HACK AMERICA'S POLITICAL PARTIES", BUT AS ELECTION OFFICIALS HAVE LEGALLY SWORN, THE ELECTION DAY VOTES WERE NOT CHANGED, THE VOTES WERE NOT MANIPULATED.
THERE WAS NO RUSSIAN HACK THAT GAVE TRUMP THE PRESIDENCY.
HE SIMPLY GOT LUCKY.
MORE PEOPLE HATED HILLARY THAN HATED TRUMP.
AFTER ALL, IT WAS SOMEONE ON THE INSIDE WHO LEAKED ALL THOSE EMAILS TO WIKILEAKS.
LOOKS LIKE WIKILEAKS HATED HILLARY, TOO.
AND, AS CAMPAIGN STAFF HAVE BEEN REVEALING IN INTERVIEWS EVER SINCE THEY BROKE FREE OF HILLARY, SHE SEEMED TO HATE ALMOST ALL WHO WERE WORKING FOR HER, STAFF, DONORS WHOM SHE ACCUSED OF NEVER GIVING ENOUGH, THOSE WHO REFUSED TO VOTE FOR HER, ESPECIALLY BLACKS, LATINOS AND WOMEN, HER HUSBAND, EVERYBODY.
EVEN THE LEFT-LEANING, CLINTON-SUPPORTING NEW YORK TIMES PAINTED A DARK PICTURE OF HER TANTRUMS.
THE POOR WOMAN IS OBVIOUSLY BOTH PHYSICALLY SICK, MENTALLY ILL, WITH SEVERE BRAIN DAMAGE.
SHE NEEDS PSYCHOLOGICAL HELP AND A PHYSICAL RE-EVALUATION BY NEW PHYSICIANS.
AS GRANDMOTHERS IN THE SOUTH OFTEN SAY OF THOSE THIS ILL, "POOR OLD THING, BLESS HER HEART."
ALAS, THEY PROBABLY SAY THE SAME OF TRUMP....
SOLUTIONS TO THE PROBLEM OF PHISHING FOR VOTER DATA?
“Solutions” may be over-optimistic. Let’s call them mitigations.
1. Don’t require Social Security number for voter registration.
A federal court ruled in 2006 that Georgia cannot require Social Security numbers on voter registration documents because it violates federal law. Section 7(a) of the Privacy Act prohibits any “state or local government agency to deny to any individual any right, benefit, or privilege provided by law because of such individual’s refusal to disclose his Social Security account number.36
2. Prohibit putting voter lists online with unrestricted access. It puts victims of spousal abuse and public safety officials, like policemen and district attorneys, at exceptional risk. Opt-out procedures do exist, if you can show “cause,” if you know about it, if you go through the rigamarole, and if no one makes a mistake in redacting your information. Keep the opt-out, but also, to protect all voters, ban posting of voter databases online.
3. Prohibit commercial use or sale of voter lists. We should not have to submit to commercial exploitation in order to exercise civil rights.
Example – South Dakota law: “In accordance with SDCL 12-4-41, I understand that the voter registration data obtained from the statewide voter registration database may not be used or sold for any commercial purpose and may not be placed for unrestricted access on the internet.”37
4. Remove visible signatures from absentee envelopes. For example, Pitney Bowes has patented a system to obscure envelope signatures. Basically, the signature is under a small privacy flap so it’s not visible to the naked eye but is readable with a special scanner that can see through the flap.38
5. Require secure storage and disposal of data storage devices and documents.
6. And as for connecting voter registration to biometric information, like fingerprints and facial recognition data (used for surveillance) … are you kidding me?

LawNewz reported:
A new report states categorically that the Democratic National Committee (DNC) was not hacked by Russians–or anyone else–as frequently alleged by the mainstream media, liberal intelligentsia and anti-Trump politicians.
The Nation‘s Patrick Lawrence wrote a lengthy review of the findings made by various computer experts formerly with the NSA. Published this week, the left-wing magazine’s report notes two bases for their conclusion: (1) hard science shows that a remote hack of the DNC servers resulting in the breach that actually occurred would have been technologically impossible; (2) forensic review of the initial Guccifer 2.0 documents proves that they are poorly-disguised cut-and-paste jobs–forgeries–intended to finger Russia.
