Are Russian Hackers Targeting American Voters

THE ELECTION ITSELF IS JUST 70
DAYS AWAY AND THERE'S SOME. SHOCKING NEWS THAT I THINK COULD
CHANGE EVERYTHING. FOR MORE, LET'S GO TO MY
COLLEAGUE WOLF BLITZER AT THE. "LATE SHOW" NEWS DESK.

WOOLF? >> BREAKING NEWS WE'RE

BREACHED DATABASES FOR ELECTION. SYSTEMS IN ILLINOIS AND ARIZONA

ELECTION HAS BEEN HACKED! I MEAN, ELECTION ROLLS ARE
ALWAYS GUARDED BY OUR MOST. TECH-SAVVY VOLUNTEERS! FORTUNATELY, -- THANK YOU FOR
YOUR SERVICE -- FORTUNATELY THE. F.B.I.

FOR THIS HAQ. >> U.S. INTELLIGENCE OFFICIALS
ARE TELLING NBC NEWS THAT. RUSSIAN HACKERS WERE BEHIND TWO
RECENT ATTEMPTS TO BREACH STATE.

VOTER REGISTRATION SYSTEMS. THE BREACHS ARE FUELING CONCERNS

U.S. PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

>> Stephen: FOLKS, WE CANNOT LET
THE RUSSIANS MESS WITH. PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS. NEXT WILL BE SOMETHING IMPORTANT
LIKE "THE VOICE." THE ILLINOIS ELECTION BOYS SAY

ELECTION.

COUNTRY? IS IT GOING TO BE OK? >> EVERYTHING IS SAFE, SAFE,
SAFE. NO NEED TO STRENGTHEN SECURITY
