It's unclear which 21 states she was referring to, as Manfra said she wasn't at liberty to elaborate.
Bloombergpreviously reported that 39 state election systems were targeted by hackers associated with the Kremlin.
Despite the scope of the attack, no officials believe voting tallies were altered. Ballot machines are, by design, not easy things to hack.
Instead, hackers went after voter registration information. Bill Priestap, the assistant director of the FBI's counterintelligence division in Washington, D.C., testified that he thinks the hackers took voter registration information so they might have a better understanding of the data.
Though the Russian government wasn't able to meddle with vote tallies, Priestap said they tried to mess with the U.S.'s election integrity by weighting the process in favor of President Donald Trump over rival Hillary Clinton. Priestap, asked if the president had acted as an "unwitting agent" for the Kremlin, said he wasn't able to comment.
Perhaps that's why Trump seems to be close to the only person left in the U.S. who believes Russia didn't try to upend the 2016 presidential election.
