Trump Cheered for DNC Hacking
(Tells Russia to Look for More...)
Meanwhile at the FBI
(FBI uncovers evidence of
foreign hackers in state election databases)
Background on Trump Rigging Statement from here, the highlights:
Donald Trump, trailing narrowly in presidential polls, has issued a
warning to worried Republican voters: The election will be “rigged” against him
— and he could lose as a result.
Trump pointed to several court cases nationwide in which restrictive
laws requiring voters to show identification have been thrown out. He said
those decisions open the door to fraud in November.
Trump said: “If the election is rigged, I would not be surprised. The
voter ID situation has turned out to be a very unfair development. We may have
people vote 10 times.”
FYI: There is little if no evidence of voter ID fraud anywhere in the country ... others errors, yes, but not voter ID fraud that the GOP
pushes.

Now the FBI Alert to States. Seems AZ and IL state voter
databases were hacked. Those highlights
The FBI has uncovered evidence that foreign hackers penetrated two
state election databases in recent weeks, prompting the bureau to warn election
officials across the country to take new steps to enhance the security of their
computer systems, according to federal and state law enforcement officials.
The FBI warning, contained in a “flash” alert from the FBI’s Cyber
Division, a copy of which was obtained by Yahoo News, comes amid heightened
concerns among U.S. intelligence officials about the possibility of cyber intrusions,
potentially by Russian state-sponsored hackers, aimed at disrupting the
November elections.
Those concerns prompted Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson to
convene a conference call with state election officials on Aug. 15, in which he
offered his department’s help to make state voting systems more secure,
including providing federal cyber security experts to scan for vulnerabilities, according
to a “readout” of the call released by the department.
That story continues at the link.
Rigged? Um. As I said, Mr. Trump, check you Russian pals …
oops. Thanks for stopping by.
