I'm not saying do nothing about it.

I suppose it's not really up to us regardless. Since the Russians were in favor of Trump last time, he's surely not going to put any roadblocks in their way for the next election.

One has to wonder how the hell these systems are even accessible from outside a very small network of trusted machines in the first place.

Indeed, we should definitely take a closer look at the companies providing these voting machines and make the rules stricter about who is allowed to provide them from now on.

Do you really think large scale attacks haven't been attempted in every major election?

I don't think our elections cybersecurity has ever been allowed to fall this far behind the rest of the world before, and every year it's just getting progressively worse. I think it's obvious that we're in need of some younger candidates/presidents, people who aren't completely tech illiterate.

thing i find most funny i how it was trump saying "ooooh people could rig the election" and he was laughed at and mocked for being stupid and how it was IMPOSSIBLE and the sign of a sad pathetic whiney sore looser........as soon as he wins "AAAARGGHHH IT WAS RIGGED!!"

who was right? the democrats when they said it was impossible and trump was stupid or the democrats who say it happened and trump was the evil genius mastermind exposing his evil plan in advance

im sorry but its pretty obvious there is certain levels of meddling on both sides, the role has massive global consequences, you can bet pretty much everyone had their toes dipped into meddling in some way

Which is not how any news organization or reputable organization operates. If they're willing to lie about one thing, they're willing to lie about everything.

Are you serious? Police do sting operations which involve deception. Does that make them unreputable? Plenty of news organizations do shady things to get info they need. I don't think all of what Project Veritas is good, and I think they often stretch the facts to fit the narrative. Anyways, that doesn't matter that much.

I'm sure that a bunch of countries have manipulated (slightly) and attempted to manipulate US elections in the past. The US has done it frequently to other countries also. Everyone who is pretending to be interested in it right now is suffering from Trump derangement syndrome and will refuse to see the Russian hoax for the Fake News that it is. Take off the blinders and try to be sincere. Trump has a lot of faults, but he clearly is not a Russian agent like leftists want him to be. He also probably didn't obstruct justice. Blind outrage of the Russian "nothing burger" will only give credence to Trump. People who won't drop the Russian nonsense are Trump's biggest allies for his reelection. I didn't vote for Trump in the last election, but I'm going to next election because the other side has completely gone off the deep end.

Err...no? I think you're referring to when Trump said that he wouldn't accept the election results, but only if he lost.

People were mostly just concerned/worried when he was directly petitioning Russia for help on live TV, nobody took that as a joke.

That's not a good analogy. Veritas was trying to get other outlets to bite on a fake story, so this is more like the police planting cocaine on a suspect. And yes, that would cause that specific police department to be labeled as unreputable.
