They did hack the voting machines. It doesn't say the hack successfully changed the outcome. What do you disagree with?
Citation for them hacking the voting machines?
> They did hack the voting machines.

Can you provide an article, or source for this specific claim? There was definitely illicit accesses to voter registration databases during the 2016 election, but you specifically said voting machines.

The first I've heard of this. Any citations?
Attempted hacking by maybe Russians. And:

> The New York Times reporters acknowledge that it is uncertain whether the problems were caused by Kremlin-directed hacking or a more innocuous mishap like software malfunctions or human error. Furthermore, an NSA analysis was unable to determine if the Russian hackers were successful in compromising the election vendors or what specific data had been accessed.

I need a little more than that before I get all riled up about the Red Scare.
