'The Russians' successful hack of Illinois' voter systems in the 2016 elections was a wake-up call and demonstrated a clear vulnerability in our election security,' Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin said in a statement. 'We know that they will try to target our systems again during the 2018 midterm elections.'
The Russian hack gave operatives access to confidential information from a reported 90,000 voters but state officials said hackers were not actually able to manipulate vote totals.
