This kinda stuff is scary. Possible manipulation of American elections by foreign agents seems like a huge vulnerability. And we're supposed to rely on the states to make sure their security is up to snuff? God help us.
And we are going to have a president who either (1) doesn't understand email servers and lost as many as 11 official blackberries in several years, OR (2) is a wholly unprepared social-media junkie who refers to this issue as "the cyber."

FBI director: Hackers 'poking around' voter systems - CNNPolitics.comWashington (CNN)The FBI has discovered attempted hacks of voter registration sites in more than a dozen states according to two law enforcement officials. US investigators believe that Russia is behind those attempted hacks the officials said.
Earlier Wednesday, FBI Director James Comey spoke of additional attempted hacks at a House Judiciary Committee hearing in Washington, but did not specify a number.
"There have been a variety of scanning activities which is a preamble for potential intrusion activities as well as some attempted intrusions at voter database registrations beyond those we knew about in July and August. We are urging the states just to make sure that their deadbolts are thrown and their locks are on and to get the best information they can from DHS just to make sure their systems are secure," he said.
