(15,800 posts)even though the article is from February.
Especially in light of the fact that even high-ranking Republicans acknowledge that Russians are still interfering with the midterms as their present target.
Our own local Dem office, in a county where the GOP has 38% and the rest split between Dems and independents, our website had over 600 hits from Russian sources over a six week period in 2016. In other words, even though we aren't exactly known as a hotbed of Democratic activity, we still got delved into. Kinda makes one wonder how much more they infiltrated more consequential areas.
And it would be just plain foolish to think they aren't still at it.

Btw, I predict a very dirty governor campaign on the part of the R Party. Stapleton is a Trumping nut case - as you well know. No doubt he'll be overflowing with Koch buck$.
Hang in there up there!
