Based on your first sentence I shouldn't even give you an answer but I will.

Did the Russians manipulate the actual ballots? Probably not......this time.

They absolutely did have a hand in the outcome.

Senator Mark Warner says it best in the article at the link below.

Here is an excerpt:

As Virginia Sen. Mark Warner, the vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, noted in a hearing on this months ago: "The Russians employed thousands of paid internet trolls and bot nets to push out disinformation and fake news at high volume focusing this material onto your Twitter and Facebook feeds and flooding our social media with misinformation. This fake news and disinformation was then hyped by the American media echo chamber and our own social media networks to reach and potentially influence millions of Americans."

The real "dopes" were the people on Facebook and Twitter who believed the nonsense about Secretary Clinton (Pizzagate anyone?). Many of these people were on the fence and too lazy to fact check anything so they voted for the twit.

The Russians were very successful in getting their candidate elected and don't think for one minute that they won't do it again and again and again.
