      Senate Intel report found "no evidence that vote tallies were altered or that voter registry files were deleted or modified" yet the big headline was that Russia "hacked all 50 states" -- weirdpic.twitter.com/vypfXHDSPy

      Some headlines used the phrasing that Russia "targeted" all 50 states. Of course "targeting" is an amorphous weasel word. Some of this "targeting" included simple, routine "scanning" of public-facing websites, which states only noticed after the Feds issued a panicked warningpic.twitter.com/srCpCZSI8U

      NYT and others blared the headline, "All 50 states were targeted by Russia in 2016," but this state says "they have seen no evidence of scanning or attack attempts related to state-wide election infrastructure in 2016." Did anyone even bother to read the report?pic.twitter.com/ViATryNoWd

      The "targeting" that we're all supposed to be up-in-arms about consisted of "pinging" public websites, which happens constantly all day everyday. That's why local officials barely took note of it. Only after the "Russian interference" narrative was introduced did anyone carepic.twitter.com/YzB1cAGuop

          In one instance, a malware "attack" initially assumed to be the Russian government was later assessed to be non-Russian criminal activity. This stuff, like so much else with the broader Russia narrative, is confirmation bias run amokpic.twitter.com/4GDubFXgLT

          And it's has been common public knowledge that they did it for years now. Just goes to show how disingenuous our media is.

          Exactly! Also, my servers are continuously pinged by russian and chinese IPs daily. Why doesn't anyone look into Chinese collusion?

          Oh my goodness, I think my router must be Russian then too!!!1! It pings every 9 seconds on my primary isp to decide if it needs to switch to backup ISP. Lousy pinging Russian router.

          Honest question Have we had an election in the last 100 years that the Russians didn't attempt to interfere with? They happened to use Facebook and other Social Media outlets in 2016 but prior to that they were using other sources for disinformation campaigns. None of this is new

          Hell, WE interfere in other countries' elections all the time. It's just part of what countries do to each other to try to gain favorable influence.

          The democrats are getting ahead of their defeat in 2020. When Trump wins they’ll start screaming Muh Russia again. The sad part is most liberals will be happy to wag their tails in agreement.

          Because it is easy to scare ignorant people when you make empty claims like this that helps feed a narrative.
