The (D) Narrative for Blowout Election

It's very likely that the Democrat Party will be thumped, nationally and locally, this November.

Since they believe that their policies are Correct, Just, and True, they need a reason for this failure.  And they have one!!

Homeland and national security officials are worried about how Russia could significantly exploit US divisions over the November midterms, considering scenarios like Russia staging smaller hacks of local election authorities -- done with the deliberate purpose of being noticed -- and then using that to seed more conspiracies about the integrity of American elections....

Putin!!  The dirty rat!!  

You can read the rest, but it is worth noting that this is a CNN 'story' fable, and it's clear that the CNN reporter is a conspiracy theorist.

 ...The five current and former US officials who spoke to CNN stressed that such a scenario remains hypothetical....

So the conspiracy theorist "reporter" pushed his conspiracy theory across the table and the officials agreed that anything is possible, but CNN's conspiracy theory is hypothetical.

After November, when only 38 Democrats remain in Congress, this story will be cited, eliminating all that 'hypothetical' language from US officials.  It will be Putin's fault because Democrat policies are Correct, Just, and True.

See?
