U.S. Senator Says Russians have Penetrated Florida Election Systems

[Anung Un Rama]

I'm sure the election hacking is a sexier topic, but this seems a bit more important immediately.

Russian hackers infiltrated US power networks and had the ability to trigger massive blackouts

Is this like a Russian "stuxnet"?

not like stuxnet; a hack not a virus.

 

[M3t4tr0n]

If they go back to the old fashioned way, we could avoid these problems.

Hanging chads are much easier to deal with than Russians.

But seriously, we shouldn't be putting our election on-line to where the election could be hacked.

Take the voting machines and all that off line.

I think ripskater is right here, going back to chads might be the best option.

 

[M3t4tr0n]

WE SHOULD BE WORRIED ABOUT RUSSIA HACKING OUR ELECTION...HOWEVER WE DON'T NEED STATE IDs FOR VOTING BECAUSE THAT IS RACIST...UNLESS WE FORCE EVERYONE TO VOTE...ONCE WE RID OF THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE FIRST...AND WE SHOULD ALSO REFUSE TO ANSWER CENSUS QUESTIONS THAT EFFECT HOW MANY REPRESENTATIVES OUR STATES CAN GET...DAMMIT PUTIN!!!!

Yup. This is allowed, but I get banned from a thread for disagreeing with a mod.

This ain't Mayberry. You might actually have to have a thought.

Do you think it is acceptable for Russia to meddle in our elections? I think more sanctions every time they are caught doing this shit is in order.

Then what the fuck are you doing here, pal?

Russia wishes. But there is so many bad things any good code writers could do to your SCADA systems it's not even funny, we are lucky it hasn't happened yet. As far as TS goes, Obama was warned about all this and I don't think he took any steps to help? I really doubt they are in the FL "voting systems" . Everyone's computer gets scanned almost on a daily bases. I would think they saw that traffic and saw a Russian IP, If someone port scans my computer that doesn't mean they now have access to my files and my bank account I check online.

 

[senri]

Yes.... You are assuaging nicely...

Change your diaper.

That's a good one, I usually go with "take your nap," "go get a cookie" (the old don rickles line) or "your system is malfunctioning, you're needed for an upgrade."nbut boy o boy do I like that diaper change.

It is sickening these so called American patriots have no sense of reality about them. It's frightening. Mind you these are the same people who would suck down any CT that comes there way. Compeltely in bed with a foreign nation who is trying to undermine our democracy every step of the way. Americas true patriots.

Do you think it is acceptable for Russia to meddle in our elections?

40% of Republicans think Russia is friendly or an ally, up from 22% in 2014 https://news.gallup.com/poll/237137/republicans-positive-relations-russia.aspx

32% of Republicans think Russia interfered in the 2016 election https://www.vox.com/2018/7/19/17586390/poll-russia-trump-election-interference-republicans

71% of Republicans approved of Trump's secret meeting and presser in Helsinki https://slate.com/news-and-politics...s-handling-of-russia-even-after-helsinki.html

So the short answer to your question is YES.

This is getting so annoying.

Did Russia try to influence the US election? Yes.
Have for over 70 years. No idea who they were rooting for last election.

You're fucking ridiculous if you think they haven't.

Does the US intelligence community use propaganda to get you to vote for their candidate?

Yes. It's not a conspiracy theory. The CIA is entrenched in mainstream media and gives billions to social media companies.

NOT A CONSPIRACY THEORY.

Trump won. Get over it.

 

[D3thr0n3d K1ng]

Putin won. Get over it.

Fixed.

Fixed.

Personal favorite.
Totally explains the Uranium One deal and Trump being a Nazi.

Russians love Nazis.

(Reuters) - Russian operatives have penetrated some of Florida’s election systems and could delete registered voters ahead of the November elections if the systems are not adequately protected, Florida U.S. Senator Bill Nelson told the Tampa Bay Times on Wednesday.

“They have already penetrated certain counties in the state and they now have free rein to move about,” Nelson told the newspaper, which posted an audio recording of the interview on its website.

Democrat Nelson and Republican Senator Marco Rubio of Florida wrote a letter last month to the state’s 67 county election supervisors about potential threats, the newspaper said. But that letter lacked the specificity Nelson has laid out, according to the Times.


“We were requested by the chairman and vice chairman of the (Senate) Intelligence Committee to let supervisors of election in Florida know that the Russians are in their records,” Nelson told the newspaper.

But the state department that oversees elections pushed back against Nelson’s comments, saying it received “zero information” from Nelson, federal or state agencies to support the infiltration claim. Nelson is running for re-election in November against Florida Governor Rick Scott.

Bad news. We really need money and support for bolstering our election systems nationwide.

This needs everyone to support it.

Florida Election Systems was a slut! You can't blame the Russians for penetrating her - she was asking for it, dressed like that!
