| Russian 'hack' of 2016 voter rolls leaves Galesburg, Illinois, reeling |
| 2018-04-08 |
| [FoxNews] Galesburg, Ill., appears to be a typical small town, nestled in the farmlands of the Midwest. But the unassuming slice of the American heartland, which was the site of an Abraham Lincoln-Stephen Douglas debate in 1858, was invaded by the Russians during the 2016 presidential election through a cyberattack on the state's voter registration rolls. Galesburg is also home to Knox College, alma mater of one John Podesta - who is also an emeritus trustee. I can't help but wonder if his hacked emails are somehow involved. |

| #1 State officials said they took other steps to safeguard voters' information, such as resetting all passwords, adding encryption software, mandating two logins, instituting further firewall protections and monitoring web server logs daily to detect other possible attempts. Isn't that, like, what they're supposed to do? |
