What's this?

Not a lot of time to fix this threat


I don't really buy that the hackers failed in any way. Disruption and distrust in a system that many already did not have faith in seems to have been a fine goal.

---------------------
"One of the mysteries about the 2016 presidential election is why Russian intelligence, after gaining access to state and local systems, didn’t try to disrupt the vote. One possibility is that the American warning was effective. Another former senior U.S. official, who asked for anonymity to discuss the classified U.S. probe into pre-election hacking, said a more likely explanation is that several months of hacking failed to give the attackers the access they needed to master America’s disparate voting systems spread across more than 7,000 local jurisdictions."
