I heard on the radio today and just saw an article stating President Obama is asking for an in-depth investigation into possible election hacking in our recent presidential election. I'm no fan of our president but I agree with him on this one. I don't want any other country influencing voters here.
Lest anyone think that Mr. Obama is targeting the current president-elect, he is included the 2008 and 2012 elections in the investigation. It is to be a "full review of malicious cyber activity timed to U.S. elections". Apparently, in 2008 "China was found to have hacked both the Obama and McCain campaigns, White House spokesman Eric Schultz said at a Friday press briefing."
What do you think? Do you think another country influenced who won any of these presidential elections? I do think we need more cyber security, it's time that this country started taking that seriously.

Oh man! I hope it! What if they find out Clinton lost even more!
For real though, maybe Russia. They seem to be pretty happy about the win!

I read just this morning that they have quickly concluded that Russia released Mrs. Clinton's emails in an effort to get Trump elected. This seems to have happened very fast from a government that does nothing fast. I'll reserve judgement till I know all the facts.

That's going to take a long time to prove if the election was rigged. I bet by the time they've concluded it Trump may have already step down from his term.
