<tinfoil hat> I think domestic criminal "Political Interest Groups" may be attempting to hack US elections and are fanning flames on Russia Hacking stories because it makes for useful cover </tinfoil>
- ImprovedSilence 8y agoIt's neither of the above. The goal is not to actually hack a system and change votes(and thus leave a trace) but to cast doubt onto the integrity of the vote as a whole. Thus cuing <tinfoil> any reason to throw out results of an election. I'm not going to speculate on the actors or their motives behind this though, and it could be many layers deep... But I promise you, that's the long play currently underway.
- cwkoss 8y agoWe may both be correct. I think there is likely a diverse set of nefarious actors constantly taking often-conflicting self-serving actions.
