Your comment shows you aren't aware that Russia has only recently developed a highly sophisticated and multi-faceted psychological/information warfare capability. We don't yet know the full extent of that capability, but the Russian general in charge of it bragged that when they deploy it against us it would be like when they developed the atomic bomb, changing the balance of power between Russian and the West.

"What is the specific attack in this election that damaged democracy? Did they stop votes from being cast? No. Did they change the vote count? No. Democracy is everyone who goes to the polls voting their choice and having their votes accurately counted. So what exactly did they do?"

The answers to your questions aren't known yet, not completely. That's why there are investigations. Don't you want to know the answers?
