There NOTHING here to indicate a hack no less a RUSSIAN hack except the FBI's "Suspected" say-so. "Matt Roberts, a spokesman for the Arizona Secretary of State’s Office, said state authorities were notified last month by the FBI of the ***SUSPECTED*** hack, when it was discovered the username and password of a county election official were being circulated online."
