AUSTIN, Texas (Local 2/Fox 24) -

A top state official is pushing back against the federal government's claim that Texas was among states whose election systems were targeted by Russian hackers ahead of the 2016 presidential election.

"At no point were any election-related systems, software, or information compromised by malicious cyber actors," Texas Secretary of State Rolando Pablos wrote in a letter to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security on Thursday.

Last week, the Department of Homeland Security said the election infrastructure of 21 states, including Texas, was targeted by Russian hackers. Being targeted does not mean that votes were changed but that a system was scanned.

Shortly after the announcement, officials in California and Wisconsin said they'd received contradictory information from the department that suggested they'd been incorrectly included on that list.

Pablos, in his letter, made a similar claim and asked the department to "correct its erroneous notification" that the state agency's website had been the target of malicious hackers. Pablos argued that federal officials had based their assessment on "incorrect information" and that an investigation by his office with the state's Department of Information Resources had found no such targeting.

"In order to restore public confidence in the integrity of our elections systems, it is imperative for DHS to further clarify the information provided," the letter says. "Our office understands that you have provided similar clarification to election officials in Wisconsin and California. We respectfully request you provide the same clarification to the State of Texas."

A Department of Homeland Security spokesman told Reuters Thursday that "additional information and clarity" had been provided to several states, and that the department stood by its assessment "that Internet-connected networks in 21 states were the target of Russian government cyber actors seeking vulnerabilities and access to U.S. election infrastructure."

But Sam Taylor, a spokesman for the Texas Secretary of State, said Friday that the issue remained unsettled.

“Our office is hoping to have a conversation with DHS in the coming days to receive additional clarification on this issue,” Taylor said.

Good thing we have the DHS to keep us safe from port scans.

Yeah, I came into following politics through LGBT politics so I would never downplay the importance of LGBT politics but I definitely am not interested in electing some Barney Frank corporate shill just because they're gay.

I heard that Jane Sanders personally dyed prison uniforms pink on her luxury tour of Joe Arpaio's open air concentration camps for pretty much people who are not white.

Bankrupting a college prevents tens of thousands of students from being burdened with debt. Jane Sanders clearly did the right thing.

quote:

everal newly discovered spider species have been named in honor of US Senator Bernie Sanders and other outspoken supporters of human rights and climate action.

Together with four of his undergraduate students, Ingi Agnarsson, a spider expert and professor of biology at the University of Vermont (Sanders’ home state), described 15 new spiders in a paper published by the Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society this week.

“This was an undergraduate research project,” Agnarsson said in a statement. “In naming these spiders, the students and I wanted to honor people who stood up for both human rights and warned about climate change — leaders and artists who promoted sensible approaches for a better world.”

All 15 of the new species belong to the genus Spintharus and are known as “smiley-faced” spiders because of the patterning on their abdomens that resemble a smiley face.
