The article is from August 2018. Why is this being brought up now? At any rate...I think this sort of thing, replica-site hacking in key swing states, is a hedge for the democrats. If they lose, which I think they will, they can say the websites were hacked to throw the vote to President Trump. Not that they can prove it or then change the vote results but it will give them "talking points" to tell everyone why they've been cheated again. Those evil Trump Supporters again!
