What Are We Doing About It?

         The Senate Intelligence Committee concluded Thursday that election systems in all 50 states were targeted by Russia in 2016, an effort more far-reaching than previously acknowledged and one largely undetected by the states and federal officials at the time.

        They're doing it as we sit here.

   ― Former United States Special Counsel Robert Mueller on active Russian interference in American 2020 elections.

          Russia interfered with our 2016 presidential election and has already launched an attack on our 2020 elections. According to Special Counsel Robert Mueller, a vast network of Russian agents is working to undermine future American elections.
           And what are we doing about it?
         The report by the United States Senate Intelligence Committee entitled "Russian Efforts Against Election Infrastructure" and released this past Thursday states that in 2016 Russia combed voting systems in every state in our country and carried out "an unprecedented level of activity against state election infrastructure."  According to the report, in several states, among them Illinois and Arizona, "Russian cyberactors  were in a position to delete or change voter data."
           And what are we doing about it?
          Our country is under attack. Our vote is in danger of being stolen from us.          
          And what are we doing about it?
      Last Thursday, the day after Robert Mueller's testimony before Congress, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill calling for immediate action on national security measures to protect our elections from foreign interference, such as ensuring that voter registration data cannot be tampered with and replacing aging voting machines with more secure machines with voter-verified paper trails.

         But Republican Senate Majority Mitch McConnell, backed by all but a few Senate Republicans, killed the bill by not allowing it to be put forward for a vote in the Senate. 
        He says Congress has already done enough on election security.

       So that's what we're doing about the Russian attack on our elections. Nothing. Because our country is now being led by men who are personally benefiting from  Russians tampering with or our vote.

     During the 2016 Presidential election there were over 200 contacts made between the members of the Trump campaign and Russia.
      And though it is Donald Trump, Mitch McConnell and those in their circle of influence who have benefited  - or believe they have benefited - from Russian interference in our elections, the true and ultimate beneficiary has been and will continue to be Russian dictator Vladimir Putin.

      Putin is the puppet master and those who were voted by trusting Americans into the positions of power and leadership in our country are willing to let him pull the strings.
       And what are we going to do about it?
