One can only wonder who this 'sophisticated Russian hacker' works for...

The Russians don't give a fuck about the US election. This is a con job perpetrated by the DNC, Hillary campaign, and others to project blame for their own political cheating activities. They blame the Russians because they know there will be no valid investigation, they know the Russians will not respond to any hacking allegations, and because they can shift the agenda from them cheating to Russian hacking. There was no hack, just smoke and mirrors to cheat their way into the White House.

'The paperless Illinois Voter Registration System (IVRS) was specifically targeted by the attack, Thomas said:On July 13th, once the severity of the attack was realized, as a precautionary measure, the entire IVRS system was shut down, including online voter registration. '
'The Illinois breach was described in detail by a message to county election officials by Kyle Thomas of the Illinois State Board of Elections. '
'The attack did not gain access to any state or county voter registration system, but the username and password of a single election official was stolen. ', "For what it's worth, voter registration rolls in Illinois are public records, supplied widely to campaigns and other organizations for direct-mail campaigns."
'The characterization of the attack on the Illinois system as "highly sophisticated" doesn't necessarily match the techniques described by the FBI Cyber Division's memorandum. '
This has been an automated message.
