How Did Russia Supposedly Effect The Us Election?
36 Answers
I'm confused with all the whining over the last few weeks, perhaps ABers can enlighten me....
the voters gave their verdict. Both sides seek to effect voters decisions that's the hustings. What specifically did Russia actually do? If they hacked something what was it and how did it effect the result? If it was fraud then why are there no reruns/court cases etc?

It's a joke to think that the Russian propaganda machine had any influence on American voters. Hillary Clinton failed to beat the most unpopular presidential candidate in the history of American politics. Hillary needs to look in the mirror and accept that she may have actually have been the problem and not the Russian (alleged) hackers.

The actual (dumbed-down for the public) report:

>>> . . . so I don't see how this is any different
American didn't take too kindly to one party using covert activity to spy on another at Watergate. So it's probably not surprising that some Americans get upset when a foreign power hacks into a US political party's email servers with the intention of 'digging up dirt' to influence their election!

It's a little bit different to a President making overt statements in a fererendum. Moscow’s influence campaign followed a Russian messaging strategy that blended covert intelligence operations—such as cyber activity—with overt efforts by Russian Government agencies, state-funded media, third-party intermediaries, and paid social media users or “trolls.” No one is saying it's a 'new' thing as Russia, like its Soviet predecessor, has a history of conducting covert influence campaigns focused on US presidential elections that have used intelligence officers and agents and press placements to disparage candidates perceived as hostile to the Kremlin.

TTT....it isn't the fact that the result of the Election was way or the other, its the fact it was done at all.
Trump has decided to not believe his security agencies and believe Putin instead.
No whining, just a misjudgement by the incoming President. It looks as if America will have its first pro-Russia President.
Doesn't that worry you....even a little bit ?

He does believe it now Mikey, but he says (as he would) that it had no influence.

Did you read the report from the ODNI report linked to in this thread and vetuste_ennemi's?
What should happen in a U.S. election is that both sides should state their positions and then rubbish their opponents.
What should not happen, is for a foreign government to influence the democratic process via covert actions.
Think about that for a moment...if Russia is behind this, then it's an attack not on the Democrats, but U.S. democracy.
That's huge.
