If all 50 states used paper ballots, what are the chances this would have happened?
The agencies involved issued the usual denials. They didn't deny that the hacking took place, or was successful. But they announced that not all the usual security measures were in place. That might have even been true. But the article offers no evidence to think so, one way or the other.
11-year-olds hack mock version of Florida's election site in minutes.

They haven’t even made it to high school yet, but they managed to hack into a mock version of Florida’s election website and change the results in a matter of minutes.
An 11-year-old boy pulled off the feat in less than 10 minutes during DEFCON 26, one of the world’s largest hacking conventions, according to a report by PBS News Hour. Buzzfeed reported another child — an 11-year-old girl — manipulated the site to make it appear that libertarian candidate Darrell Castle had won Florida’s presidential vote in 2016.
"Senate Republicans blocked a Democratic push Wednesday that would have provided $250 million to beef up election security.
The money would have been doled out in grants through the Federal Election Assistance Commission and helped, among other things, replace outdated voting equipment and increase cybersecurity efforts. "

So little evidence. As usual.

Yep. It is very easy to look up information, but it is even easier to ask others to do it for you. I provided a link to this on the other thread, but it didn't keep the usual suspects from whining about lack of proof.

"Congress had allocated $380 million in election security grants in March after intelligence assessments detailed a coordinated and continued effort by Russia to interfere in U.S. elections.
The blocked $250 million would have covered the fiscal year 2019, which starts Oct. 1, just ahead of the midterm elections.
Republicans have argued it is too soon to allocate new money for the following year and want to see how states use the $380 million already set aside for election security efforts. "
It’s okay, Republican congress voted down enhanced election secularity measure because, you know, it’s a non-issue.
BS, link...and please don't provide the link where the repubs voted for 300 million security measures and then did not vote for another 250million increase....
And just think where we would be if the obama admin would have done something, instead of telling them to stand down...when they found out russia was shacking....
