Four voter registration systems have been breached by hackers working for the Russian government. The “good” news is that it is just the voter registration systems, and not the actual voting system, that are being targeted.

"This is very different than the vote system in the United States, which is very, very hard for someone to hack into because it's so clunky and dispersed," Comey said, adding that states should be in contact with the Department of Homeland Security and "make sure that their deadbolts are thrown and their locks are on." During a separate House hearing on Tuesday, Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said 18 states had reached out to his department seeking assistance in protecting their election systems. Meanwhile, another top Homeland Security official and the head of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission both said a cyberattack could not change the outcome of the 2016 election.

uhm...... if we use an electronic device, thats connected to a network.... then yes a cyber attack could very well change the outcome. who the fuck hires these fucking people!
 
Up here in Canuckistan we fill out little slips of paper that people count and send to other people to count and count again.

In a world where refrigerators, televisions, and coffee makers are watching you and waiting to be recruited for whatever purpose it seems some systems simply need to be off-line, inefficient, antiquated, and somewhat secure.

How many of you actually buy that it's the Russian government?

Likely just more left wing propaganda.

When they scooped out thinky bits of your brain and replaced them with a party megaphone did it hurt?
 
One party rigged their primary and keeps getting caught registering dead people but yeah sure it's "the ruskies" that are rigging it.

If only we had some sort of "reset" with US/Russian relations.

Pepperidge farms remembers when Romney was ridiculed for his anti-Russian "cold war hysteria"
 
Left vs right, both fighting in a boat, oblivious to the waterfall they are heading for.
 
Can you blame them, Clinton will continue the course to war over Syria. However why be afraid, they have been teaching their soldiers combat for 28 years, we've been teaching civics.

Fixed that for you. Trump knows more than the Generals, remember? He also has fabulous bombs, and he's going to make Canada pay for a war with Syria.

Or someshit. We should just do a co-presidency between the two, a real life odd couple with reality TV. We could at least watch the country burn as we get on the super highway to Idiocracy. Only President Not Sure is capable of saving us now.

The FBI says our voting systems are being haxed! Sure I trust those asshats after not trying Hillary Clinton for perjury or obstruction of justice after it was proven she lied to the FBI. They also gave immunity to all of Hillary's evidence destroyers. My response to Homeland Security urging the states to seek their help to save us from the big bad Russians? @#$% you. It can only help offset the DemoRAT fraud and dead people voting.
