 |  Republican senators fight to keep hackers in the US elections Putin is helping us to win why should we stop him? The Republican-controlled Senate has defeated a push by Democrats to set aside an additional $250 million for states to upgrade their voting systems to protect against hacking and other cyberattacks. An amendment offered by Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahy received 50 yes votes, 10 short of the 60 needed for approval. Leahy said securing US elections and "safeguarding our democracy" is not a partisan issue. He said the Senate must send a clear message to Russia and other foreign adversaries that tampering in our elections will not be tolerated. Leahy said that there was a marked reluctance from the Republicans and President Donald (Prince of Orange) Trump to fight against cyber attacks during the coming election. The suggestion appears to be that President Putin is going to help out after the Republicans and Trump did such a sterling job stuffing up the Nato alliance. https://fudzilla.com/news/46868-repu...e-us-elections |
