      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

      Of course huge sections of the report are redacted so we may never know what this mysterious "unexplained event" was 🙄pic.twitter.com/sdrM0juk8c

          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

          Voter rolls were hacked. The problem is it wasn't the Russians.https://www.cnbc.com/2016/12/08/homeland-security-tied-to-attempted-hack-of-georgias-election-database-report.html …

          That's how they like it, redacted so they control the narrative.

          1 of the 2 "unexplained" events was traced back to American political hackers inside the USA.

          Could these be when the Department of Homeland Security hacked into state election databases?
