I’m surprised they all weren’t attacked. There are many people out there who just go through all IP addresses looking for systems to hack. I’ll bet nearly all of those posting here get multiple probes each day.
I’m fairly certain that the DHS is capable of telling the difference between sequential port-scanning and actual targeted intrusion/recon attempts.
makes one wonder how many members of the electoral college they had hacked up dirt on to influence or bribed? that seems more russia’s style then hacking the popular vote even. i wonder if anyone has investigated that angle?

Hey, what if we went to a voting system that used unhackable physical ballots - say, heavy paper. Yeah, that’s the ticket.
Not that fraud with paper ballots is impossible, but it would be far harder to hack. More and more, I am thinking we need to step away from computerized systems to avoid vulnerability.
