Both FB and Twitter say they saw no evidence of Russian accounts uploading voter data to target specific lists.
By now, given Russian posts senators have shared, it's clear what the their motive was: to pit the American electorate against itself.

NEW: The House Democrats' trove of Russia-linked Facebook ads contained ads targeting suspicious Chrome extensions at teenage girls. The extensions gained wide access to users' browsing behavior and Facebook accounts. h/t @d1gi for spotting wired.com/story/russia-f…
The landing page for the ads where users could install the extension was registered in April 2016 in St. Petersburg, Russia. The ads went live in May. By June, people were already complaining about how the extension had spammed all their Facebook friends wired.com/story/russia-f…
Google confirmed it had removed the extension from the Chrome store and from users' devices. Unclear how many people downloaded the extension from the Facebook ads. The ads only got a little over 80 clicks. wired.com/story/russia-f…

A researcher with lots of foresight scraped 5 million political ads on Facebook during 6 weeks before the 2016 election. She found that half of the advertisers had absolutely no federal records or online footprint. Of that half, 1 in 6 were Russian trolls. wired.com/story/russian-…
These "suspicious" advertisers predominantly targeted voters in swing states like Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. She also found that white voters received 87 percent of all immigration ads. wired.com/story/russian-…
She found that the advertisers that were not required to file any disclaimers or disclosures with the FEC ran 4 times as many of these divisive ads as advertisers that did have to file with the FEC: wired.com/story/russian-…

“We're an idealistic and optimistic company and for the first decade we really focused on all the good connecting people brings” - Zuck

But in the past, "We didn't take a broad enough view of what our responsibility is...It was my mistake."
"Yesterday we took a big action by taking down Russian IRA pages targeting their home country." - Zuck

Funny you should mention. I just happen to have written a little something about how researchers are developing algorithms that give the courts hard proof of voter ID laws' racially discriminatory impact. wired.com/story/voter-id…
The most promising among them can accurately match people in the voter roll to voter ID databases with the same accuracy as a Social Security Number. wired.com/story/voter-id…
This means courts now have something more accurate than a survey to show who does and does not have adequate identification once and for all. Surprise: black registered voters are far less likely to exist in those ID databases. wired.com/story/voter-id…
