Bomb threat emails came from Russian email domain -- culprits not necessarily Russian

Source: AP

The head of the U.S. government’s cybersecurity agency says that though bomb threat emails sent to multiple states came from Russian email domains, it’s not clear that the culprits were actually Russian.

Jen Easterly, the director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, told reporters Tuesday night that the matter was still being investigated and that the identity of the senders remains unknown.

The FBI said earlier in the day that the email threats sent to Georgia and other states were all judged to be noncredible and were from a Russian email domain. Easterly said the emails did not affect the ability of the voters to cast ballots.

Regardless, how does CISA even know how the voters reacted.

That was the whole point -- to scare them away from voting -- not blow something up.

These election protection systems won't even exist if Trump wins this time.

how did they have the locations of the actual PRECINCTS where the democrats were majority voters, and call in bomb threats to just those that were mostly democrats.
