Good points. Your last paragraph really shows how easy it would be / is which makes me wonder why is the Russia story such a big deal? There very well could have been similar attacks pulled off in the past with no one noticing (or it being legal all together) Sidenote: politics only seems to have morality as a focus when it is in their favour.

> which makes me wonder why is the Russia story such a big deal? Because it allows the responsible people to shift all the blame to an external actor: "Sure, we might have used crappy and insecure voting machines, everybody with a clue warned us about for years, but that wouldn't have mattered if the Russians didn't hack them!"

>Your last paragraph really shows how easy it would be / is His last paragraph is the equivalent of 'I'll create a GUI interface using visual basic; see if I can track the killer's IP' it displays a complete lack of understanding or knowledge of campaign finance, how the electoral system works, and how it's manipulated.
