Editor,

I would like to follow up to Quentin Kopp’s letter titled “Guarding against voter fraud,” and remind people about the wide computer hacking of our American voting system back in 2016 by foreign agents (aka Russia, etc.), where at least 21 of our 50 states’ voting systems were hacked which lead to Trump’s election victory. America can’t let that happen again. Mail-in ballot voting is one of the most secure and safe voting methods to prevent computer hacking of our voting systems and prevent voter fraud, at the same time. But, proper and secure methods of transmitting the vote counts must be used, like the use of landline phones to transmit such information. This year, every step should be used to protect the integrity and accuracy of the American voting system in our country from outside interference and hacking. Since Trump won’t do it, it is up to us, We the People, in each and every state and territory to do it.

Michael - you are just praying that repeating a lie will eventually pass as truth. Even the Mueller Report confirmed that even if their had been hacking, which there was not, it had no impact on the election of President Trump. As most of the ballot counting software that we use in this country is of foreign sources, the real question is not who votes but who counts the votes.

Dirk,

You do have one thing right, the hacking of the election by the Russians did not directly change any actual votes. however the hacking did change how some voters actually voted. The real question is not who counts the votes but how much voter suppression will be tried by the GOP? Having pseudo police standing around poling places in minority communities to intimidate voters or reducing poling places to make it difficult to cast a ballot for those with limited ways to get there as was the recent case in Louisville, KY where they had ONE poling place for 600,000 thousand people.

BTW, when it comes to repeating a lie no one stands a chance against the professional liar, Donald Trump, and his staff at the White House.
