The idea of Russia trying to influence the election through social media and influencing people, and not through actual hacking of the results? I know everyone here seems to be facetious at the moment but make the jokes hit a little bit better.

TIL "hacking" actually means legally persuading people through media and is an impeachable offense which delegitimizes elections.

Oh wait....

Just because some fools used the term "hacking" to refer to PsyOps doesn't mean they are right. (Russian intelligence *did* hack the computers of the DNC and the emails of at least one Clinton campaign officials and then released that info to influence people. They also probably hacked the RNC.)

There was no successful hacking of election infrastructure that changed anything in either 2016 or 2020.

Steele dossier - Wikipedia

"in April 2016, an attorney for Hillary Clinton's campaign and the DNC hired Fusion GPS to investigate Trump"

It's called "oppo research". Nearly all campaigns do it (especially the big ones) and it's legal. The Steele reports come about because FusionGPS realized that they had questions about Trump and his various business and other relationships with Russia, so they hired Steele. Since this information is now widely known, it is unlikely that the Biden campaign had any need to do this.

How do votes get counted illegally?

THE VOTE TOTALS HAVE TO MATCH THE BALLOT TOTALS WHICH HAVE TO MATCH THE VOTER TOTALS.
