Notice that I didn't say "hack", and much of the news doesn't focus on them "hacking" the election in the sense that they altered the vote to get Trump enough votes to win (I'm sure some have argued it but most sources deny that widespread voter fraud or vote altering happened). By now it's accepted that Trump did not win the popular vote but did win enough states to win the election, just like in 2000. The focus is on disinformation instead, like ads bought on Facebook, Twitter, etc., which has been shown to have happened.
