Why would it be crazy for a state level black hat actor to want to hack votes in the USA’s elections? I’m not saying that happened, but it’s not prima facie crazy. In fact I recall hearing that Russia somehow hacked the election for the past 4 years. Motive and now means is there. Creating opportunity is within a state actor’s capabilities too.
But I mean, it's totally different that a hack to Solarwinds and FireEye that was before the election and just assume a correlation knowing that all these counties and election systems suppliers use SolarWinds but only might be contributed to Russia should be considered the same as the Russian disinformation campaign carried out on Facebook ads in 2016.
I mean, one would be election shattering but there is no proof, and the other we are pretty sure happened even though nothing came of it at all.
