November 8 2017 will see 8 States in America go to the polls. The Russian inquiry was on the minds of many people.
Those responsible for the polling systems are on high alert. This concern is due to Russia’s hacking abilities.
Despite no solid proof of affecting the votes in the 2016 election worry lingers. Russian hackers have found ways to gather emails from high ranking officials.
At present there is considerable doubt in the voting system. The current investigations don’t help either. Congress had been looking into Russia’s use of social media.
Targeted
It was reported by investigators that the voting systems of 21 States were targeted. Illinois was breached, while Arizona was sort of breached, whatever that means.
The other 19 were just targeted but Russians had no success there. Despite their efforts it wasn’t believed any votes were changed.
The voting was mostly affected by what is considered misinformation. It is believed that inside help was received by Russians to help determine where to target.
Russia interfering with present elections would strengthen Republicans. Trump is currently on an Asian tour and plans to meet with Putin about North Korea.
