On the eve of Donald Trump's summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin, the Dept. of Justice indicted twelve Russians on eleven new felony charges of cyber-interference in the 2016 U.S. Presidential election. The officials are charged with hacking into and stealing documents from the DNC and the Hillary Clinton campaign and releasing them to the public in hopes of manipulating the election, as well as with hack attacks against state and county election officials and a voter registration company, using email spearphishing schemes to implant malware onto state election system networks. The indictment contains no allegations against that any Americans knew of the hacking scheme detailed by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, but it notes that an Internet domain used by Clinton's personal office was attacked, "for the first time," in July 2016 \u2013 which was just hours after Trump's public call in July 2016 for Russia to \u201cfind\u201d and release Hillary Clinton's "missing" personal emails. The indictment details at least one state voter registration system where some 500,000 private voter records were accessed, but it does not allege that computer voting results were manipulated (DHS admitted last year they never examined either ballots or voting systems). Meanwhile, Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR), testified to a Senate hearing on the only election reform bill in Congress, to fortify election system security by, in part, requiring a HAND-MARKED paper ballot for every voter in the U.S. Finally, a bipartisan lawsuit filed this week in federal court seeks to force South Carolina to offer a secure voting system to voters, after more than a decade of failed and questionable elections on the 100% unverifiable ES&S iVotronic touch-screen voting systems used across the state. Republican plaintiff, Frank Heindel, and attorney Larry Schwartztol of the non-partisan, non-profit ProtectDemocracy.org, join us to explain their lawsuit and their attempt to make a difference in the state before the crucial 2018 midterm elections...
