I am inclined to agree with you. If this is limited to Russia waging a propaganda campaign, even if it involved selectively hacking a political organization and data dumping, then it speaks volumes as to how poorly educated and insulated from reality our citizens are. That is a deep structural problem which is our fault, and it can't be fixed simply by firewalling off the country from propaganda or demanding that Facebook filter content for validity.

That being said, if Russia is able to interfere with voter registration, voting equipment, or state election boards, that is a very different problem which needs to be addressed aggressively.

100% agree with you.
