To the Editor:
I could not even finish reading “Hacking the Democrats” (front page, Dec. 14) without stopping to contact members of Congress to demand any legal means possible to delay those who “won” from taking office before more is known about an election that was clearly influenced by Russian hacking.
This was a direct attack on United States elections and our democracy itself. Where is the outrage? President Obama and four senators requesting an investigation is not enough!
A candidate who publicly invited the Russians to hack into his opponent’s emails has been elected to the highest position in the nation. Our president-elect, along with members of his campaign team and proposed cabinet, have business relationships with Russia.
Is there not enough evidence for something more to be done? Is there nothing that will prompt our current elected officials, members of the Electoral College and the media to demand more immediate action before these newly elected officials take office?
This is a crisis and way beyond partisan politics. It threatens our national security, and history will not be kind to those who did nothing. How many times have we wrung our hands over our collective inaction when we all knew something more should have been done? Don’t make this another one!
To The Times, please keep up your reporting. To readers, write to your elected officials. Demand action now.

Note from KBJ: Donald Trump did not "invite" Russians to hack Crooked Hillary's "emails." Do you know what a joke is, Marie Lellis? To quote Rush Limbaugh, you're a special kind of stupid.
