Election officials in 21 states have been notified by the Department of Homeland Security that hackers targeted voter registration systems ahead of last year's presidential election. But election officials in three states said Friday the attempts could be linked to Russia. The Wisconsin Election Commission, for example, said the state's systems were targeted by "Russian government cyber actors." "Our elections are the bedrock of our democracy, and DHS needs to notify states and localities in real-time when their systems are targeted." Trump, a Republican who defeated Democrat Hillary Clinton in the presidential election, has called the Russia story a hoax.
