Russian operatives have "penetrated" some of Florida's voter registration systems ahead of the 2018 midterms, U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson said Wednesday, adding new urgency to concerns about hacking.
The state, however, said it has received "zero information" supporting his claim.
"They have already penetrated certain counties in the state and they now have free rein to move about," Nelson told the Tampa Bay Times before a campaign event in Tampa. He said something similar a day earlier in Tallahassee but declined to elaborate.
"That's classified," the Democrat said Tuesday.
He is facing a re-election challenge in November from Gov. Rick Scott, whose administration said it has no knowledge of the allegations made by Nelson.

This is a flat out lie.
Three months before the election, and Nelson is already acting like he knows he is going to lose.
Nelson should go hold hands with Milano.
What a worthless, lying piece of human excrement.
I hope Floridians don’t vote that corpse back in.
so the mantra is for every democrat who loses, the russians somehow meddled with my election.
just how juvenile and immature. always someone elses fault.
wheres the irrefutable proof for him to make such a careless statement. this is indicting another country.
Agreed!
Reminds me of some athletes who always claim to be injured when they don’t play well.
It always works out best if you establish your excuses and alibis ahead of time.
They don’t call him the Spaceman for nothing.
“Russia Russia Russia” - the new ‘go to’ for democrat losers.
Code for: Nelson is going to lose.
LOL - now that's funny...
Definitely.
I think he left his helmet off in space too long.
It is amazing to me that someone who sounds as stupid as he does became an astronaut.
And Bill loved it like The Gimp...
Nelson is as DUMB as a bag of rocks....he is Pathetic!
This slug, Nelson, has been my do nothing senator for far too long.
Collects his paycheck never to be heard from til election time. At which he does his best to act like he gives a damn.
The Russians have stated their goal is to destroy our faith in our voting system. Getting caught with their hand in the cookie jar would only further that effort IMO.
The dims stand to gain from this if they lose, they have a great fall guy, as long as the steps taken to keep the Russians out are not too strong. And how long have the DemoRats resisted voter ID? The Russian stuff is a distraction to draw attention away from some of their other tentacles creeping in.
“The state, however, said it has received “zero information” supporting his claim.”
Nelson is a short timer.

Wow, setting-up his excuse already? His poll numbers must be REALLY bad.
