The Kremlin has denied claims from a U.S. government intelligence report that Russian hackers attacked at least one U.S. voting software supplier before last year’s presidential election.
The classified National Security Agency report, which was published online on Monday by The Intercept, said Russian military intelligence agency GRU attacked the software company and sent spear-phishing emails to local election officials around October and November.
The report did not say whether the hacking had any effect on election results.
Dmitry Peskov, spokesman for President Vladimir Putin, denied the allegations Tuesday, saying that the Kremlin did not see “any evidence to prove this information is true.” He said Moscow categorically denies “the possibility” of the Russian government being behind it.
“Well if Vlad said it, I fully believe it.”
All Republicans
Gotta go with the MRD response here: Well, they would, wouldn’t they?

Hmmmm… who to believe, the U.S Intelligence and National Security Agencies and law enforcement… or the KGB head of a criminal state who they said did it?
Let me think hard on this one.
This country’s election system needs a 21st century re-do. States go about the business of preventing groups of citizens from voting in order to “win” the elections. That should not be allowed if this is still America.
Citizens should be issued a voters number tied to their SS number and that automatically registers a person to vote. Folks should be smart enough to fill in for folks who aren’t covered by that. Paper ballots should be available and ALL voting and vote counting should be accomplished by tabulating mailed in paper ballots.
Should be a time and money saver with more citizens being allowed to vote. There … fixed it !!!
