Trump is a legitimate president, and I am sorry you still can't understand that. He won the majority of electoral votes, which is what the constitution lays out as the process by which we elect presidents.

Regardless of all of this, I still believe him to have actually won the votes legitimately (even if he disgusts me).

However, this article is about a foreign power hacking state-based servers related to elections, and stealing voter registration/campaign finance databases, and then attempting to delete/modify voter registrations. Does that not concern you? What if one day they decide they want Democrats in power, then hack into the registration databases of some swing states and delete a ton of Republican voter registrations, thereby preventing them from voting?

I don't see why we can't all agree that our election-related networks need better protection, and more proactive assistance from the federal government, which is best equipped to defend against hackers - especially ones with the support, or even directly orchestrated by a nation state.
