There is a simple way to forget about GRU hackers and the rest. Paper ballots, human counters, observers from all political parties participating in the elections.

Was this exploitation easier to pull off than the FReepers of 2008-2015 trying to convince others to turn over their computers to logmein.com for Folding@Home?

A thousand routers is a very small botnet. Some botnets comprise hundreds of thousands computers/routers. Seems to be much ado about very little.

Well, that is, after all, the way the Democrats have been committing election fraud since Tamany Hall.
