No because American Citizens have their own opinion and a chance to vote for who they want so they shouldn't let another country influence their opinion. If there were people involved, they should be tried because you shouldn't interfere with another countries elections.
I don't know for sure, they definitely could have with all this new evidence arising. They have very complicated and sophisticated systems to hack US systems, I wouldn't count it out. I think it's an act of treason for the people who are in the US and for the ones in Russia it would be some type of conflict of interest in our country so something would need to be done about that.
I honestly don't know. But even if they were, I'm sure we would have had the same turn out. I honestly don't even know what they mean by "influence" on the election. They should get punished a little. But nothing major. Even though the election was decided by little amount, I don't think they had that big of an impact.
I'm not sure it's possible it could have happened or it couldn't have happened, but I don't have any information about this so I can't really reveal my standing on this. If it's true then treason is probably the most extreme for those who aren't trying to destabilize USA's election but for those who are this is the perfect thing to arrest them for.
1. I think that Russia got a little bit involved and also they were doing little bit of influence.
2.Just give them something for messing with the american politics from a police or give them a lecture.
No, but i understand that it's a touchy subject. I personally think that the Democrats tried to influence the election in Hillary's favor, and it failed, and they blame Russia for their dirty dealings. If there truly are people in America who influenced the election, then they should be charged with treason.
Its hard to say for sure if Russia was involved. Russians can vote if they become US citizens but if they are working under the eye of the Russian government then that is a big issue. I feel like the only reason this is being a trending topic is because president Trump has close relations with Russia. Now if that is the reason that he won, then maybe we should pick a better and more secure voting system.
The Russians did not influence the election by voting, they influenced the election buy buying ads on social media sites to spread fake news to many Americans.
I am not sure if Russia interfered. To most people, it seemed as if Hillary was going to win the election, so the surprise of Trump being elected as president could have been because of influencing or tampering coming from Russia. With the current proof, I can't make a clear decision either way. The people should be tried in a court of law and hopefully sentenced prison time.
