Russian hackers attempted to hack into state election boards in 2016. All investigations agree the attempt failed, no voter rolls were accessed, and no final tallies changed.
There is no evidence however, that Russians hacked the [[DNC]] in [[Washington, D.C.]]. The suggestion that Russians were responsible for a hack, and not a whistleblower who conveyed the information to [[WikiLeaks]], comes from a third party contractor of the both the FBI and DNC - [[Crowdstrike]]. The alleged DNC "hack" was never investigated. The DNC refused the FBI's offer to investigate what was essentially a civil matter.
A forensic investigation by retired [[NSA]] analysts determined DNC emails published by WikiLeaks were downloaded on a flash drive, and not "hacked" from outside.
A DNC press release, coupled with [[mainstream media]] journalists working with [[Hillary Clinton]] operatives in [[FusionGPS]] and the [[FBI]], spread the [[fake news]] narrative that state election board hacking attempts were related to DNC materials appearing on WikiLeaks.
