There is hard evidence that Russian officials tinkered with the recent elections, with many advocate groups and those within the White House positioning themselves to bring the issue to the forefront.
In a conversation with CNN, Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.) has mentioned that the Russian’s influence is “serious business” that needs to be taken seriously. International forces interjecting their influence is a direct assault on American democracy.
Republicans Are Taking Accusation Seriously, But Is It Too Late?
The Electoral College will officiate their final vote on December 19, 2016. McCain’s voice is in the minority, with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Speaker of the House Republican Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), not taking McCain’s suggestions and Russia’s subversion of American democracy seriously.
Cosigned by Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), McCain’s letter to McConnell pushing him to attend to his duties and to do his job – that plea fell on deaf ears so far.
The Influence Of The Internet Are Far-Reaching
This election cycle has been galvanized and even stifled with the impact of the Internet. It has been cited as the birthplace of the “Alt-Right,” a place where our politicians can connect their face to their policies, and also a place where there is a nuanced possibility of international powers influencing America’s free and fair elections.
McCain has no doubt that the Russians “were interfering” and that it was a cyber attack.
How do you think the Electoral College will vote in a few hours?
