Senate Intelligence Committee details Russian activities to disrupt 2016 vote
The Senate Intelligence Committee outlined the dire need for the U.S. to better defend elections against attacks such as the massive campaign Russia carried out to disrupt the 2016 vote.
Yet, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has continued to block bills that would take steps to bolster protections at the polls. On Thursday, he once against stopped two election related bills in the Senate. He's accused Democrats of pursuing election security measures for"political benefit." While the committee found"no evidence" that attackers changed any votes or manipulated voting machines, the efforts “exploited the seams between federal authorities and capabilities, and protections for the states.”
The document contains an almost entirely redacted section that details Russian access to election infrastructure in “State 2,” a possible reference to Florida.
