[Trapsy]

wow, this is yuge.

Why Illinois?

Any coincidence with the fact that the Clinton machine stole these two in the primaries? All those manufactured votes in Illinois, tsk tsk

Clearly this is revenge against Hillary's work with the Goldwater campaign in '64 showing evidence of fraud in the state.

[Seriously?]

Why Illinois?

Illinois and fraud go hand-in-hand. Crook county's fraud is legendary.

The best thing the state does on a bipartisan basis is send their former governors to prison. If I had to pick a state where the voter database might not be as secure as it should be because of some partisan hack contract, it'd be Illinois.

[Gustaf]

I wonder if it's Trump's Russian buddies going at it again.

[ill ind]

  So if anybody can prove any actual fraud in Illinois go to the FBI and prove it - otherwise tou have nothing but rumor and innuendo.

Da!

But isn't the entire premise of the whole 'Clinton stole the election from Sanders' thing that she did it from the inside?  She wouldn't need to hack anything.  Even by the standards of the conspiracy theory it doesn't add up.

Also, I don't remember there being any particular complaints about Illinois being stolen.  I remember Sanders people complaining about Arizona and New York, mostly.

[Seriously?]

  So if anybody can prove any actual fraud in Illinois go to the FBI and prove it - otherwise tou have nothing but rumor and innuendo. 

Gov. Otto Kerner, Jr. (D)
Gov. Daniel Walker (D)
Gov. George Ryan (R)
Gov. Rod Blagojevich (D)

Each one of these proud Illinois public servants traded the governor's mansion for a prison cell.

Of course there's fraud and corruption in handing out contracts in Illinois.

[ill ind]

 None of that is voting or election fraud as you originally suposed was going on commenting on the hack or "lesd tan hack" but why stop a good mdia story.  And in all fairness Walker's conviction had nothing to do with politics and his term as governor.

[Alcon]

Exactly what information would these hackers be accessing that isn't public which would prove fraud?  It's not like the list of voters and their voting history isn't already public record in every state, as far as I know.

[Gass3268]

This is why we need to go to 100% paper ballots.

[Gass3268]

U.S. intelligence officials are saying its the Russians

[Lachi]

This is why we need to go to 100% paper ballots.

[Beet]

The Illinois breach, Russians got the 15 million names, some with driver license numbers. Massive identity theft in addition to breaching the voting system. May discourage people from registering to vote if this happens. In VA, I know you have to give SS #. Also, FBI apparently knew about this since July.

[Illiniwek]

This is why we need to go to 100% paper ballots.

[ill ind]

  So how did they get 15 million name from the Illinois State Board of Elections when there are only 7,667,000 registered voters?  I don't recall needing a ssn.  I just looked up my registration and needed only name, birthdate, and address.

[ill ind]

Chicago Tribune this am says 200,000 names.  Only last 4 digits on ssn and drivers liscense numbers possible.  None of that info is on older registrations.

That's the number I've heard as well. The 15 million seems to be the potential number of records from IL, AZ and other targeted states.
