    I guess the real question is if Daddy Vladdy had the goddam common courtesy to give him a reach around

    You're the classic Trump troll, headlines, sound bytes, slogans, and YouTube videos.


    There are known knowns — things we know we know about election systems hacking
    • Before the 2016 election, the online systems of 21 states were “scanned” by Russian cyber actors. Scanning doesn’t mean that they were penetrated by hackers — it’s more akin to someone driving by a house to see if anyone’s at home before robbing it.
    • One state — Illinois — was actually hacked. Its online voter registration system was hit with an attack, but no records were actually changed.
    • The credentials of an election official in another state — Arizona — were compromised when the official opened a malware-infected email. The state took its system offline as a precaution, but it was not believed to have been compromised.
    • One election system provider — VR Systems — was targeted by a Russian phishing scam. VR Systems provides services to eight states.
    • The Election Assistance Commission, the federal agency that’s in charge of regulating voting machine security, was hacked. In 2016, a cybersecurity firm became aware of a Russian-speaking hacker who had obtained the credentials of 100 EAC employees and was looking to sell them — purportedly to a Middle Eastern government.
    We also know there are known unknowns — things we know we do not know
    • There might have been more breaches of election services providers that the public doesn’t know about. In September 2017, The New York Times reported that current and former intelligence officials said at least two other providers of elections services, in addition to VR Systems, had been breached by hackers in 2016.
    • We don’t know precisely what security measures are taken by the companies that manufacture voting machines and provide other election services. Because states and counties are allowed to choose what voting machines and vendors to use, there are no across-the-board security rules about what sorts of measures must be taken. Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon attempted to extract answers from the country’s major voting system vendors about their cybersecurity, but most gave vague responses. The federal government has very little power in this area.
    But there are also unknown unknowns — things we don’t know that we don’t know
    • Other state-sanctioned hackers could be working on attacks on the U.S. elections systems. That possibility was raised just this week by Sens. Kamala Harris and James Lankford, who appeared on “60 Minutes” in a bipartisan show of solidarity on the hacking issue. “This could be the Iranians next time, this could be the North Koreans next time,” Lankford said of the cyberthreat.
    • Hackers could have developed “zero-day” attacks that U.S. officials don’t yet know how to scan for, meaning they could be in election systems already. Or, hackers could have figured out how to hack voting machines remotely, something that hasn’t been done but that election security experts say is possible.

    At some point in the near future, Trump will say the following ... Fake Intelligence.

    This is like spiking the football and doing a little end-zone dance. Putin is flexing for his population and world over having dominance over the president of the United States of America . . . So embarrassing for our nation.
