At a House hearing, former Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson testified that Russian interference in U.S. elections did not extend to manipulating vote counts, as far as he knows.
“I know of no evidence that through cyber intrusions votes were altered or suppressed in some way,” Johnson said at the June 21 hearing of the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.
Johnson told lawmakers that the level of Russian state interference with U.S. voting systems was “unprecedented in scale and scope,” and said the U.S. government must figure out how to respond in the future because he believes that more attacks on the election systems are coming in 2018 and 2020.
