TIME posted:

The hacking of state and local election databases in 2016 was more extensive than previously reported, including at least one successful attempt to alter voter information, and the theft of thousands of voter records that contain private information like partial Social Security numbers, current and former officials tell TIME.

In one case, investigators found there had been a manipulation of voter data in a county database but the alterations were discovered and rectified, two sources familiar with the matter tell TIME. Investigators have not identified whether the hackers in that case were Russian agents.

The fact that private data was stolen from states is separately providing investigators a previously unreported line of inquiry in the probes into Russian attempts to influence the election. In Illinois, more than 90% of the nearly 90,000 records stolen by Russian state actors contained drivers license numbers, and a quarter contained the last four digits of voters’ Social Security numbers, according to Ken Menzel, the General Counsel of the State Board of Elections.

Congressional investigators are probing whether any of this stolen private information made its way to the Trump campaign, two sources familiar with the investigations tell TIME.

“If any campaign, Trump or otherwise, used inappropriate data the questions are, How did they get it? From whom? And with what level of knowledge?” the former top Democratic staffer on the House Intelligence Committee, Michael Bahar, tells TIME. “That is a crux of the investigation."

Spokesmen for the House and Senate Intelligence committees declined to comment on the search for stolen data. No one contacted for this story said they had seen evidence that the stolen, private, data had actually made its way to the Trump campaign.

the cool thing about the next two decades if the democrats ever get their poo poo together is we'll be looking at a fundamental shift in how healthcare is insured and paid for every four to eight years which means almost no one will be able to afford it thanks to actuarial uncertainty and skyrocketing premiums

i mean that's really how we get to anything resembling modern society, but it's going to have to get a lot worse before it gets even a little better. everyone's going to have to pay a lot more a chunk at a time until no one can't afford it and insurance becomes incredibly bad business.

So based on some really poorly put together thoughts and "things I'm pretty sure I know", under this law there is no way a subsidised healthcare plan can cover abortion, full stop.

However, in California and New York, it's a requirement that all health plans cover abortion.

So looks like we's gonna have us a states rights throwdown!

It's easy to resolve that:
If it's passed by Conservatives, US law trumps States' rights
If it's passed by Liberals, States' Rights trump US law
