Let's take a look at just what entities were targeted by Russia in the 2016 election.

Green = election systems
Yellow = Secretary of State, or local analogue
Purple = dunno.
Of course, you'd expect state boards of election and whoever manages the voter registration process to be targeted...

but sometimes the voter registration systems are pointed at in addition to the SOS office.
Actually,
- 8 states reported SOS being targeted.
- 11 states report election systems being targeted (2 overlap with SOS)
- 5 states targets weren't specified.
Here's a list of the agencies in each state that are relevant to voter registration.

And I'll leave you to ponder this while I flesh out the list of targets with state names to complete the analysis:

What other state agencies could Russians have been targeting that WEREN'T directly linked to elections

And if their goal is to muck with elections... why?
