In before BacKKKlash posting something about Hillary Clinton winning the popular vote.. and the only reason Trump won was due to gerrymandering.

You do realize that this has been going on for centuries.. right?

And you do realize that this specific case was going on in 2016.. during the Obama Administration, right? Russians were literally meddling in the 2016 election and you know what President Obama did? Here, I'll let him tell you specifically what he did:

The only way this could be the "most disturbing" is if you honestly had no idea that other countries meddle in US elections... and I can't figure out how this wasn't known.

Dude. The Russians got into polling computers in Florida. That's way beyond a misinformation tactic and something that we should absolutely be fixing

Remember when T4F said Republicans only kept the Senate because of Gerrymandering? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

And did Obama's FBI correct it? Also, Trump had nothing to do with that.

And according to all reports, they never breached any actual voting machines, just polling machines. Federal and State officials from 2016 to now contend that no votes were altered, the the Mueller report agrees.

So yes, that should be fixed, and as far as I can see, it is actively combated.

President Obama told Putin to "knock it off or else".

And there is no evidence at all that a single vote was changed.

I hope we've done something on our end to safeguard the election process.. more than just telling Putin to "knock it off or else" in the 3 years since the 2016 election.

This time. Again. We're simply not taking steps to stop them, or anyone else from trying similar tactics.

It's not a trump issue - agree with you there.

Stupidity and ignorance is a common trait with liberals infected with TDS.

How do you know we aren't? I think it is pretty great that out of the thousands of polling locations throughout the country, they only managed to get into three. And they weren't even actual voting machines. I guarantee you the FBI and state officials are constantly taking steps to defend elections from hacking attempts.

While I'm sure the CIA and Homeland defense make their efforts public and beam their meeting minutes directly to your email, I think maybe it would be wise for them to keep their clandestine counter-espionage efforts private.

Or maybe that's the case because obviously, as it always has been, which could(does) explain why you don't hear about them until they're declassified 50 years after the fact.
