You want the feds involved in a state election?

States should secure their own elections.

I wish them (the Russians) great success but Trump won't let the Russians interfere in our elections like Obama did in 2016....just as Republicans in Ohio stopped this Russian hack attempt.

We need federal help to secure our elections from foreign threats.

A foreign threat to any election within the USA is an attack on our national sovereignty.

Any help the Federal government can do, from monitoring known perpetrators (and warning their targets) to lending assistance through technological advice, or identifying and blocking or shutting down the culprits, should be done.

These attacks are a coordinated program, and should not be seen in isolation.

With all due respect what an ill- thought out comment. How is an individual state to defend itself against a foreign adversary? Vigilance is required on the part of local boards of election, but it is up to the federal government to confront state sponsored cyber-attacks against the USA.

Well your posts make it clear that you have no loyalty to or love for the US. Go back to Moscow TT. They’re waiting for you.

Trumpist quislings will never do that. They know Trump will lose in 2020 and there only hope is foreign meddling. MAGA supporters are really MAGATs.

Given that the states run the federal part of elections for POTUS, Senators, and Representatives, got to wonder about the motivation of those who don't want federal funds involved in securing elections.

Could it be that those receiving campaign contributions via the Kremlin are fine with Russian "IT support" as well?
