The 2016 election was dominated by hacking of one candidate/party, systematic dump of hacked materials, and hacking of elections systems. Republicans blocked election security bills for 4 years, insisting it had no effect. Now they cry interference when they lose. Do better.
Our country needs more bipartisan agreement when attacks happen. Republicans signed off on multiple reports -- including one they led in the Senate Intelligence Committee -- that outlined the vulnerabilities, hacked systems, foreign interference from hacking, etc.
But publicly, they followed the Trump line, which was to downplay any interference so as not to question his legitimacy as President. Look what that got them. Full of knowledge about vulnerabilities and very upset *they* didn't address them for four years!
The fact is, Republicans know this election was less susceptible to interference techniques uncovered in 2016 because we had hard copies of millions of votes: mail ballots. It's hard to implement any wide add/subtract hacking strategy with unknown data (millions of mailed votes).
Our country needed their concern 4 years ago.
But they didn't care because it benefitted them.
This time, they lost. So they plunge the knife even deeper, using the vulnerabilities *they* failed to address to imply tampering, despite no forensic evidence existing to show it.
