If an eleven year old can do it now, doesn't that mean the Russians could have done it in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Florida in 2016?

Are you like twelve?

You're just in denial that your President is blatantly committing treason with a hostile power. If Obama  had done what Trump is doing, he'd already have been impeached, and tried for treason.

This should scare anyone who cares about the integrity of elections. Our election security systems must be brought up-to-date in order to protect from outside influence.
