Russian 'hack' of 2016 voter rolls leaves Galesburg, Illinois, reeling
[FoxNews] Galesburg, Ill., appears to be a typical small town, nestled in the farmlands of the Midwest.

But the unassuming slice of the American heartland, which was the site of an Abraham Lincoln-Stephen Douglas debate in 1858, was invaded by the Russians during the 2016 presidential election through a cyberattack on the state's voter registration rolls.
Galesburg is also home to Knox College, alma mater of one John Podesta - who is also an emeritus trustee. I can't help but wonder if his hacked emails are somehow involved.

#4 Are they sure it's the Russians? It could be a leftist organization doing a "fake run" and leaving trails to make it looks like the Russians did it, thus deflecting attention from their own failings.
