Very interesting. Maybe the Russians or whoever did it can effectively use the election system to influence our elections. Maybe one approach should be to selectively delete the registration records of people registered to one party or the other which would render them ineligible to cast a vote in some locales since without the registration record they're SOL. Or create new "voters" out of whole cloth and have people go vote in their name. Thankfully Democrats oppose all voter identity verification so that won't be hard.

The FBI has uncovered evidence that foreign hackers penetrated two state election databases in recent weeks, prompting the bureau to warn election officials across the country to take new steps to enhance the security of their computer systems, according to federal and state law enforcement officials.
The FBI warning, contained in a “flash” alert from the FBI’s Cyber Division, a copy of which was obtained by Yahoo News, comes amid heightened concerns among U.S. intelligence officials about the possibility of cyberintrusions, potentially by Russian state-sponsored hackers, aimed at disrupting the November elections.
