The Trump Administration today finally got around to notifying states about Russian cyberattacks on their voting systems. According to the Department of Homeland Security, hackers targeted election databases in 21 states last year. The department didn't disclose the details of the attacks or how many systems were breached, though based on earlier reports hackers gained access to systems in at least Illinois and Arizona. For many states this was the first time the federal government had contacted them about Russian interference.
The Trump administration's lax response to these attacks is absolutely appalling. Russian interference in the 2016 election was a brazen and direct attack to our democratic system of government, but Trump and his administration have only tried to sweep it under the rug. Unless we take immediate steps to secure our election systems, the foundation of our democracy will remain at risk. We need to make this a major priority ahead of the 2018 midterms.

This blog will focus on political images I have found all around the Internet, though I will intersperse some commentary and quotes that I find interesting.
