I've read that the Russians didn't hack the vote tallies, instead they hacked and selectively purged certain voter registries, thereby controlling who was "allowed" to vote in the first place. A different strategy to achieve the same goal of modifying eventual vote tallies.



You may have read it, but the states that were touted as that happening in, quickly debunked it, and it was then retracted.


It's not clear whether voter data was altered. But the possibility of that happening remains a grave threat to the integrity of our elections that to my knowledge hasn't been adequately addressed.
