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 know. I've been hearing all the news coverage and claims by politicians.

My question is:

Has anyone actually *seen what* the Russians
are doing to accomplish this?

Again, I hear all about that they are attempting to do so
but nobody offers any hard evidence of *how* or *what* they
are actually doing.

Serious question.

I've personally witnessed nothing. In fact, the only recent social media meme I recall is a false one that is against Bernie, although I'll admit that I don't participate much in that arena.

The only real Russian hacking that I've seen are the reports from 2016 that they did it. There are claims that they are doing it again, but I've seen no credible reports that it has actually happened at this time.

I have little doubt that they will try again, but right now it appears it's just the usual suspects trying to whip up a frenzy. AKA "fake news".

The anti-Bernie meme could just as easily been posted by the DNC. They
don't want him to get the nomination.

I haven't seen anything on Facebook either other than the normal
bull****, anyone could put up there, mostly shares from one woman I
have known from the Prodigy days. (A hippie Mondale/Dukakis Democrat,
now a Trump fan)
Maybe Zuckerberg knows Ed is not registered to vote and he doesn't
target us.

Not registered? My understanding is that Ed voted twice in Chicago.

Not that he is willing to admit but I fear he would be a yellow dog
democrat if he did. After all the guy has never worked a day in his
life, he lays around all day, he depends on handouts and he barks
loudly if he doesn't get them.
He is a Bernie voter for sure but he might like Yang if he was still
in the race. $1,000 goes a long way in the Purina aisle.

It might go a long way in the Purina isle, but like the "cash for clunkers" debacle it won't go near as far after it's been taxed...

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.
