It seems that the President doesn't have a position on Russian interference in American elections. Is this over his head? He seems preoccupied with nonsense.

We opened the door to election hacking when the last Republican President threw the CEO of Diebold a meaty bone. If you will recall, Some states elected to buy voting machines that had no paper backup.
In the end the CEO of Diebold said that he would do anything for George W. Bush.

We wouldn't be having this debate if we used the old manual voting machines. Paper ballots can't be hacked when combined with competent and dedicated election volunteers.

Propaganda goes both ways. It is up to the intelligence of the people voting to be educated enough to make an informed decision. Prove they are lies, instead of silencing the messenger.

Russians did not hack the election they didn't even hack into the DNC server.
How did Donald Trump Collude with the Russian Government!???? Which is not a crime.

You friggin commies!

From a registered Democrats perspective that knows a lot about voter fraud.

Remember Reality Winner, who released classified info from the NSA? The information was related to the attempts to hack voting machines.

If you think they didn't try, you have your head in the sand. They may not have succeeded but they most certainly tried.

Prosecutors allege that last month, Winner, who was working for the defense contractor Pluribus International Corporation, printed an NSA document detailing how Russia had hacked a voting equipment vendor in Florida and was trying to breach local election systems right up until the days before November’s vote.

The Intercept reported on Monday that Russian military intelligence carried out a cyber-attack on at least one US voting software supplier and sent spear-phishing emails to more than a hundred local election officials days before the poll.

There is a lot of very serious problems with the integrity of our election system, but the Russian are the least of our worries.

Do research on election fraud, and you'll have a hard time sleeping at night.

I agree. Republican gerrymandering and voter suppression is a much bigger threat to Democracy.
