Everyday the media, the Democrat candidates and some Republicans
are claiming that Russia is trying to influencing the US 2020 election.

Claims are made that Russia is aiding both Trump and Sanders.

Here's my question:

Exactly *how* is Russia doing this?Â*Â* I see nothing on the only
social media platform that I use, Facebook, yet claims are made
that Russia targets it and other social media sites.

Has anyone actually read or witnessed this "influence" that
everyone keeps talking about?Â*Â* I certainly have not.


Heh heh heh heh.



Good answer.


There's been no shortage of news coverage of what the Russkies are doing
to help Trump with fake reports on social media and attempts to hack
into state election boards.


I see the hysteria but the fact is, social media is still a freedom of
speech platform and the only hacking I am aware of is looking at
public records. If your election board is so stupid that any part of
the actual voting process is online, you deserve what you get. Here in
Florida we have exactly what people were saying was the thing we need.
It is a paper ballot that provides a hard copy trail from the actual
vote to the election result. Nothing is online to be hacked.
